When I arrived I had no feeling in my legs and could not walk. Thanks to the caring staff and unbelievable expertise of the physical therapists and occupational therapists, they saved my life. I left after two and a half weeks and could use a walker very efficiently and I'm home managing better and better every day thanks only to Vista Knowles.
