Rehabilitation Hospital of Newnan

My mother had a great stay I was please with her outcome. Therapy staff was great a few Brittany OT/Ryan PT and she had great gains. Some of the staff she loved in nursing were Tina, Dr. Alexander, Ki- NP, Marco, Octavia, Robbie and Jessica (PCT at night glasses and locs ). Nataliya at the front desk always had a smile and made sure I knew moms exact location as soon as I walked in the door which was super helpful. Any hiccups were addressed immediately and they were few and far in between, like the discharge process and someone named Julie I found to be rude. Other than that we would definitely recommend and return. We live an hours away and there’s a reason we chose them!

To say the therapists here are excellent would be an understatement. They are so motivating, as well as kind if you feel like you've had a bad session (Myra for Physical Therapy and Angella for Occupational Therapy). The therapist assistants rock (Deana, Lyndsey, Hailey,
Grace, Abby, Tim & the rest) , they give all they can to their patients to help them reach your goals. Even therapists I've never (or rarely) worked with are always encouraging and treat you so well, offering assistance and kindness. Thank you Erin. The nurses (Carla, Lorein, Myra and rest of staff are good as well, they have some incredible Techs (Brittany, Jordan, Anna, Bri, among others) to help their patients. I love the people of Encompass, always going the extra mile for their patients.

I try to stay in my wheel chair as long as I can after PT or OT...
It is a test of stamina for me...
I'm trying to build that too...
But I also work out in my room, as much as I can ...
Now, I may be pushing it but the therapist have told me, 5 or 6 therapist ,that I'm the most motivated patient they've had or seen... Some other patients have told me that..
I believe that this is like fighting fire with fire... I am fighting pain with pain...
The pain from Working out, the soreness, the tiredness is fighting the gbs pain, the phantom feelings, and the fatigue...
That soreness, that is yours, you made that. Our pain and soreness has to be stronger, meaner, tougher...
We are fighting back...
We have to rest, and even pushing it, I do not think we can over do it or hurt ourselves, but if you do push, watch yourself ...
I pushed myself yesterday morning.i laid in bed , not being able to get comfortable, and my left hip hurt... I do,ally twisted around to a position my leg bent, left knee in the air... I put 2 big pillows one front ones back of leg so tminimize flopping of hip...
This is the last area not working that is stopping me from standing.
I will that leg to move Left and right... I held my hand for safety and to help it move, soon I was moving my leg by itself , back and forth...i was doing it, I was regal,ing that motion, that muscle area, I was doing it,...soon, I was moving it slowly and stopping, and would hold it in place... I did this for am hour...
Then I twisted around and reversed my position as to where my right knee was up, my right leg ready to try, and I did, slowly as the right leg is weaker, I did it, I got both legs moving , I've now getting that area to work....
If I was leaving tomorrow, if I had another week here, I'm sure they'd have me standing...
Maybe at the next place...
More to follow, I go there at noon on a Friday...
I shall miss this place, my,private room, these awesome therapist, the nurses that work non-stop, the Drs that have helped me so, the staff that are exemplifyingly awesome... The other patients that shared their stories of their miricles...
My friends that I now love that have shared and been part of my unfolding miracle...this miracle that started before I prayed for it...
That this has challenge me to a fight, I don't like to fight, but I'm fighting for my life now...
All is happening to or for us to decide our course, our strategy for our battles, on our own personal battlefields...
May we all be so blessed...
I love you all...

I was a patient for 16 days. Every person that came into my room was amazing, caring, courteous and very professional. The therapy was aggressive, which I wanted. Some of my meals were delicious, a few not so. You can’t win them all. I made new friends I will never forget. I felt like a queen the entire time. I’m sorry I can’t remember all the RN’s names but if you were there during my stay, you were all wonderful! Thank you for your care. I had one tech just one night that was not friendly. I hope she was just having a bad day. All the other techs were great. The lady that cleaned my room, Valerie, will always be special to me. Myra, Angela, Zach, Ryan, Ava, Will and Deana are all responsible for me being home and walking. If I failed to mention someone it was an error of my mind and not my heart. If I have to have therapy again I will definitely go to Encompass Health, Newnan GA. Kent don’t forget the hot tub. Keep up the good work. Thank you all again!!
