We moved my sister to Sprenger after being horribly abused at another facility. They immediately went into action with a care plan that included a nutritionist, mental wellness, and physical therapy clinician. I was hesitant at first but felt at ease when one of the staff let me know that their own parent is a resident.<br><br>The staff is VERY warm and friendly. My sister was very traumatized and requires a lot of patience. They've not only been patient, but we've seen so much improvement in her that she's eating better, gaining a little weight, is more talkative and came out of her room to socialize for the very first time since becoming immobile in 2021!<br><br>We all know this industry has its challenges and finding a good place is rare. Sprenger is a Treasure. As a retired Quality Analyst, I can honestly say they get high marks in patient care, food quality, cleanliness, and professionalism.<br><br>Thank you to K Moore and the entire staff for doing exactly what your name says.

My physical therapy at The Sprenger house 500 Community Dr. in Avon Ohio has been overall minimum - magnificent. I have personally found it to be very challenging and ever present staff. They consistently provide education, physically therapeutic challenging and intellectually engaging PT/OT courses. They provide a fantastic overwatch of my physical health, progression and recovery. Thank you, Rob Mason

Went treat or treating with the nieces they had a good time. The residents passed out candy and treats. It was sweet to see smiles on the residents faces 😊

I couldn't walk when I arrived at Towne Center. Because of Taylor from physical therapy, and Katelyn from OT, I can now walk with my rollator and take care of myself. I would highly recommend them for therapy.
