    Great care. PT work outs was exactly what type of care I need. They are the nicest and fun bunch of…read morepeople in the office I go no where else.

    Last year on Halloween night, while attempting to run to plug in some ground displays in my front…read moreyard, I fell and slammed my head onto the ground and cement sidewalk. After a very painful night, I decided the next morning I should probably go the E.R. at St. Ann's. But, then I was transported to Mount Carmel West, because St. Ann's didn't have a trauma team. They performed surgery to repair my first two vertebrae, and rings under those. After several weeks of intensive inpatient therapy I was told that outpatient therapy would be setup for me. We decided to go to WESTAR Rehab and Sports Medicine in Westerville, where they could work with my traumatic brain injury. WESTAR staff provided an extensive, therapeutic, personal and professional plan of action to help me regain communication skills, cognitive functioning, day-to-day motor skills, and physical strengthening and balance. The primary P.T. assigned to me was Rhyan, who oversaw my whole plan of therapy at WESTAR, my Speech Therapist, Jenna helped me regain some of my cognitive functioning, increase my speech skills, make substantial gains in creating thought patterns, to put words together to produce coherent sentences and even develop tools to help with my difficulty when swallowing. Whereas, my occupational therapist, Chelsea, helped me develop writing skills, and due to my broken neck, and lack of movement, boost some of my motor skills. Both Jenna and Chelsea were always friendly, helpful, supportive, engaging, and encouraging. After working with OT for several weeks, Chelsea decided I should understand some tough news: due to my broken neck, and inability to turn my head far enough either way, (to the right, left, up and down) I should think about the fact that I may have to surrender my driver's license. Not only was this hard news to hear, but we could tell that it was really tough for her to deliver it with us. With tears in the eyes of all of us, I sort of anticipated the inevitability of her words. I knew I would not be safe on the road to myself or others. But, Chelsea obviously empathized with my dilemma. Jenna and Chelsea, as my speech and occupational therapists were seen several times a week for nearly eight months. Both of these people were always personable, courteous, fun, and helpful as they pushed me out of my comfort zone to challenge myself to develop and increase my cognitive skills to think more clearly, express my thoughts and ideas, to increase my long-term memory skills, and to learn and practice methods for developing alternate ways of thinking when I had trouble coming up with the exact word or phrase or remembering thoughts, ideas, persons and things that I wanted to recall when speaking. I learned new ways that helped me speak with increased volume and clarity. Due to my fractured neck and subsequent surgery, I had difficulty swallowing some foods, but especially medicines that were very big, yet the doctor had ordered them for me to take. I couldn't cut them or crush them into smaller, more manageable pills because they would lose their potency. My difficulty with swallowing was evaluated by Jenna, my speech therapist and I was taught methods that would help me swallow with less trouble. (Putting applesauce in a spoon with one pill at a time, was especially helpful even with the largest of pills.) After some time and continued therapies with my neck, my surgeon told the physical therapists at WestStar they could now focus more on strengthening and manipulating my neck. So, my PT instructors, Rhyan (my primary PT, responsible for overseeing my progress), Vikki, Shawn, Mikayla, and Vince were all given carte blanche to direct their therapy regimen in the direction of my head, neck, and shoulders. I was involved with speech, occupational, and physical therapies for a long time. As a result I am doing so much better. But, for a time, I thought some of the equipment came to my therapist's directly from the dungeon of the Marquis de Sade. It sure felt like it. However, I am stronger, think and talk more clearly, and can write more legibly and physically grasp things much better. I wear my gait belt each day so others can support me more easily and use my walker for mobility. I surrendered my driver's license. That won't change, but I'm ok with that. All of the staff at WESTAR helped me to accept the things I can't do and to appreciate the things that I can do. Later, my wife's orthopedic doctor suggested that she have some PT, also at WESTAR for her back pain and then her shoulders. She is still undergoing PT with Emily as her primary PT, but also working either with Rhyan, Mikayla, Shawn or Vince two-days-a-week. Should you ever be in the need of any therapeutic help in these areas, I recommend talking to your doctor about WestStar Rehab and Sports Medicine in Westerville, just off of Cleveland Ave.

    Two weeks here made all the difference. I would stayed longer, but the insurance company disagreed…read more When I arrived, it was following a spinal injury, back surgery, and treatment for blood clots in my lungs. The spinal injury left me with a weak leg and I was unable to walk. After three hours of physical therapy and occupational therapy per day for two weeks, I was able to walk with a walker and I'm now at home. (To the cat's great relief.) Following the surgery I was not allowed to bend or twist my back or to lean. The physical and occupational therapists helped me understand what I was capable of and taught me new ways to perform daily tasks using devices such as a reacher to pick things up and a tool to put socks on. Everyone was caring, helpful, and supportive.

    I have been to quite a few facilities for healthcare and rehabilitation after a Cardiac & Stroke!…read more I am so thankful for the care of that. I received their every person I interacted with whether it was the nurses the A's the doctors the staff in general made my visit so pleasant. It was a clean and beautiful facility, even though it was under construction, it did not affect the ambience of the facility. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs to rehab from a surgery or from a stroke or heart attack, All I the equipment was nice and clean. They were constantly sanitizing and cleaning the equipment every time it was used. I never felt so safe and had a good workout as well. I suggest the facility. for anyone looking for a place that has great staff and attitude excellent service and help to get back to your regularly scheduled life.!

    I am sharing about issues that happened with my sister who was a client of theirs. Her aides name…read morewas Summer Sheridan. The aide would never show up on time, never stayed for her whole shift and would be demeaning to her all the time. She called the company several time over these issues and was ignored or left with no aide all day even after being told she was on her way. (Mind you she is a double amputee). The company nurse never came out to evaluate her except one time when she went to this company. The aide also tried to falsify time records which my sister informed her caseworker about. There was no help from upper management in the company when my sister reported the issues. Please be cautious when going to this company, check on your family members so this doesn't happen to them. unreliable, not compassionate about clients, aides treat clients very disrespectful, and offers poor quality care
