WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SHELBY
“After having more surgery, I needed rehab. I chose to go to Shelby because of the many previous experiences I’ve had with them. I spent 10 days there this admission. Their rehab unit is top-notch, OT and PT. I was placed in the 900-unit of the facility. The nurses and CNAs were phenomenal, caring for every need I had, in a timely manner, from helping me shower to administering my medication on time, to setting me up to eat, always with a smile. I wish I could remember all their names because they need to be mentioned; I don’t want to mention the names I do remember because I can’t remember them all, and I don’t want to leave anyone out. Even housekeeping was helpful and professional. I had the privilege to meet both, the director of nursing (DON), Tammy, and the nurse manager on the 900-unit Melissa. Both had a rapport with each other that was obviously positive and noticeable, and with their caring professionalism – I can’t say enough. They both gave me their cell phone numbers if I had any issues, that was extremely comforting to me. I’ve been in other rehabs, but I’ll continue to come back to Shelby if needed again. Being retired from the medical community, I understand the fear one and one’s family may have being in a rehab facility, but rest assured you/your family member will be taken care of.”
