If you’re at a hospital and they are recommending inpatient physical and occupational therapy, DO NOT CHOOSE THIS FACILITY. I personally wouldn’t even do outpatient here just because how horrible my experience was here. Especially if you have FND, adrenal insufficiency, and seizures. Absolutely HORRIFIC experience here. Didn’t even make it 25 minutes before having to be transported back to the hospital. The nighttime supervisor was a really mean individual who has no bedside manner and really should consider a different profession. Maybe a correctional officer, a warden, something that would fit her personality more. She is 1000% in this field for the $ because patient care was not her forte. idk. In her mind I guess she tried to “apologize” for damage control cause she knew she was rude and wrong, but that didn’t happen until after I had another seizure in the lobby trying to leave the facility bc I was so scared at that point, but she actually never said sorry, only the lady at the front desk did, she just said “this is just how she is, and this is just the way she talks.” She took zero accountability for the way she spoke to me and my husband. I have seizures and have them up to 12 times a day. I take several different medications and had three seizures while waiting for someone to check me in or whatever the process was. I was told I would have no access to any medication for the entire night by this lady after she yelled at me after coming out of a seizure saying “how was it even possible to have 3 seizures, you’ve only been here for 10 minutes” which was not true. It took me almost 15 minutes just to get into the facility. Staff failed to let my roommate know I was moving in, my roommate scared me, I scared her. She was freaking out and standing over me for 10 minutes asking why I was there, who I was, etc. I was told I was going to have a private room due to my seizures, and was taken back when I had a shared room (not a huge deal) I would have managed. But No one showed me to my room or introduced themselves. They just pointed down the hall and said the room number. I waited over 20 minutes in this room with what appeared to be dirty blankets on the bed so I wasn’t even sure I was in the correct room. In the meantime of waiting my roommate came back and started freaking out saying this was her room she didn’t know me, and proceeded to stand over my bed for the next 10 minutes. Then out of nowhere that’s when The “supervisor” came in with a nasty loud tone asking what was wrong with me over and over again (I couldn’t talk right, just came out of a seizure) because my mom called after I had my seizure to let them know as no one had introduced themselves or explained the check in process. Once I realized this woman was the supervisor I wanted to leave immediately. I did not feel safe at all. She only showed “concern” when I had the seizure in the lobby. That’s when she came out and pretended to care and give her “apology” saying I read your chart now in understand better and you need to stay. It was purely damage control and not authentic. She called my roommate a “wanderer” which I really thought was insensitive and rude for her to call her that. I honestly feel bad for those people stuck in there under her supervision and I also feel bad for the staff who was clearly embarrassed by her actions. No human being should be treated like that. She needs help, and you all should be ashamed to have someone in that position who treats patients like that.

Mytavia and Ina in the activities department are very professional and helpful. They are very caring. They are the first two that motivated me to start getting up out of my bed and room. I thank God for them. Tia and Ashley in Restorative have been very helpful in motivating me into getting back active and exercising more.

I highly recommend Aviata at Arbor Springs. Erilynn , the Director of Patient experience was extremely helpful and an important part of what makes Aviata at Arbor Springs a good facility in which to heal. Dee is a special CNA. Brings my spirits up. Also, Ari and Jess. Are extremely helpful. Leo, the RN is so competent and keeps us all smiling. I'm so thankful for him and all of the wonderful staff. Its a well run facility and a facility is only as good as it's employees. Aviata at Arbor Springs fits that description! So blessed to be here! Almost forgot the sweet Kittaniia and hopefully I spelled her name correctly. She goes above and beyond.

I can honestly say the facility exceeded all my expectations. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it’s a well-run, welcoming environment. Everything is clean, organized, and designed to make you feel comfortable right away. What really stands out, though, is the staff. Everyone there is genuinely kind, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. You don’t feel like just another number—they actually take the time to connect with you and make sure you’re taken care of. A special shoutout to the DPE—she is incredibly sweet and has a natural way of connecting with people. You can tell she truly understands how to communicate and make others feel at ease, which makes a huge difference in the overall experience. Overall, this is an amazing facility with an even better team behind it. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a place where you’ll feel supported and valued.

The physical therapy department has been outstanding! They have consistently worked with my very resistant family member. The director, Alisha, has assigned competent, professional therapists on a schedule to meet my timeframe to attend. The 2 PT's assigned to date, Sharron and Kayla, have been outstanding !!
