Having just undergone knee replacement surgery, I was directed to the short-stay rehab unit at Carrington Seniors Residence operated by Interior Health for what I like to call some “fine tuning.”
What a warming experience that was.
The staff of physiotherapists, nurses, rehab assistants occupational therapists and care aides provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure your stay provided you with all of your rehab needs and daily comforts.
There are 10 short-stay residents at one time and friendships are formed during the stay of up to eight weeks which adds to the pleasantries!
Meals were superb to say the least. For breakfast, the short-stay residents eat in a dining room on their floor and a staff members serves up breakfast and you have your choice of oatmeal, cereal, eggs, toast, fruit, juice and coffee.
For lunch and dinner, you go down to the main dining room where the Carrington residents dine and you are served delicious food by warm and attentive staff.
I cannot say enough about this facility and I heartily recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to go there for rehab.
I went with some apprehension and my mind made up to stay only one week, but after two days there, I soon changed it to two and if necessary, I would have stayed longer.
Many thanks to all of the wonderful staff at short-stay and I certainly appreciated all that you did for me while a resident there.
