This review is of Leann, the Director of Physical Therapy at Life Care Center. I watched her calmly, patiently, and carefully work with my mom when she was resisting the requirement to take a therapy session this afternoon (because she was in pain). Leann took the time to guide my mom into coming to her own conclusion that the therapy was the best thing for her. Leann's calm demeanor, her explanation of the need for and benefits of the PT, and her respectful acknowledgements of my mom's concerns were a masterclass in gentle and professional persuasion. I wish I had videotaped this 10-minute conversation. It would have served as a beneficial TED Talk or even a great in-service training session for every CEO in the country. Thank you!!
