Encompass Health Rehabilitation Institute of Tucson

My mom had a stoke on 3/2/26 and required rehabilitation. She is 81 and only been in the hospital 3 times in her life, for me and my siblings births. We did our research before settling on Encompass. We heard the food, the staff and the overall facilities were outstanding here and it was practically walking distance from mom’s home. They have a great system with one person overseeing each patients team, thanks Tina. We learned so much from Yvonne (OT) with mom’s eye issues and ways to build her coordination skills. We learned from Clarissa (PT) about using clear word choices and allowing mom to feel confident in building her motion skills. We learned so much from Felicia (Speech) about how a stroke affects a person and what we can do to help mom relearn her cognition skills. We had wonderful nurses (and techs), Suzanne (sp?), Lisa, Priscilla and so many others who took great care of mom and her kids. Dr. Patel, Dr. Joe, Dr. M…wonderful caring folks who listened and tried to address all our questions. My only regret is she was discharged on a Saturday and we didn’t really get to say bye and thank you to our weekday favorites.

My time at Encompass Health Rehab was truly a lovely experience despite my reason for being there. I broke my hip, I'm 74 but although I sure wish that I didn't have to be there to begin with ; the 10 days I spent there were simply the best! Every person from nursing, the doctors, administrative staff, physical therapy - every person I had contact with - they all were so pleasant, friendly and caring of me it was simply incredible. I was actually sorry I had to leave! Encompass is a fabulous place to recuperate from an unfortunate health difficulty. ALL MY GOOD WILL AND A HUGE THANK YOU TO ENCOMPASS HEALTH! All my best to all of you! Jacquee Hendrickson
