Nov 2021
I'm Louise, Jeff's wife using his sign-in. I came to Skyline after a serious accident and 11 days in the hospital recovering from a total hip replacement plus 2 pins in my pelvic bone. I also had a broken collarbone. Skyline was terrific. 3 weeks after the accident I was still unable to get out of bed without assistance. But with Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy 6 days a week, that soon changed. Every one of the five different therapists was caring and competent, and at 4 weeks I was starting to walk. This wasn't easy since my broken collarbone meant I couldn't use my left arm to support me, and my left leg could only bear half my weight, never my full weight. But the therapists taught me safe ways to walk with a cane. At 5 weeks the doctor said I could use both arms and both legs fully, and the therapists really went to town teaching me to walk safely and normally. After 6 weeks I was able to walk out of Skyline, not fully cured for it will take a lot more healing, but able to function again at home. Staff were universally caring and competent. I had a private room and a comforting and attractive environment. The meals were more like restaurant meals than institutional food, and I truly looked forward to them. The nursing staff and the staff physician were terrific, universally pleasant even at challenging times. In short, if you need rehab services, this is an absolutely wonderful place to receive it.

So horrible to caregivers who are sent there by agencies. Caregivers can't use a microwave in the building, can't use the break room in the building. Horrible people. Very discriminating people. Awful experience
