We are writing to share our feedback and experience with Effingham Rehab and Healthcare Center. Our loved one entered the center in September 2022 (nearly 2 years ago). We have been very pleased with the love, service, and care that has been given. On our first visit to research homes, Micah, the center’s director, apologized that the flooring was in disarray due to in-progress remodeling. We told her we did not come to see her floors but her heart. We spent a good deal of time that day with Micah, and she showed us her heart. And she has showed us that same heart over the past 2 years. She is an amazing, wise young woman who truly loves the residents and her team. She runs a tight ship and she is not a desk-sitting executive. We always see her being so kind to the residents. One day an elderly gentleman was upset and crying. Micah got down on her knees on the floor in front of his wheelchair and spoke kindly to him and gave him a hug. Her love and care was clear. She calmed him. This love pervades the Center. Micah requires the same of her team. The team has made several recommendations and adjustments that have helped our loved one tremendously, both physically and emotionally. The team constantly communicates with us keeping us apprised of any activities or concerns. When you look for a home for your loved one, don’t look for the glitz of a brand new facility. Look into the eyes and hearts of the care givers. If you find a leader and a team who love and care for people, you have found a rare treasure. Micah and her team are that treasure. They continue to be for us. So for all the servants and care givers at Effingham Rehab, THANK YOU! You have one of the hardest jobs in the world. Caring for those who cannot care for themselves. As the Bible says, “the least of these”. We love you as you love those you are caring for. Fred & Lori
My daughter has been in this facility for a number of years. It was not always a good place for her. Because of the care she received there in the past I had no trust in the workers or the administration. Since Mika has been there its a 1-80 turn around. I have trust that my daughter is taken care of. I no longer worry about her if I am not able to come check on her. Check on her is what I did before Mika. Now I visit with my daughter because there are no longer major issues with her care. This facility has come a long way. I would recommend Effingham Rehabilitation to anyone for their loved ones care
Recently I have had the pleasure of working professionally with the amazing group at Effingham Rehab. I reached out the them to assist with the relocation of a resident from their Skilled Facility into my Supportive Living Facility, and was very pleasantly surprised. I worked closely with Emily, the Social Services Director, who worked very hard to ensure a smooth and successful transition. The thing that got me and made me leave this review wasn't my interactions with the building, although that was very pleasant, it was what the lady we relocated had to say. I spent several hours with her hearing all about the PEOPLE from Effingham Rehab. The staff that she now considers family. Everyone from the smart young hard working Administrator, to Emily who went out of her way to ensure this resident had shoes and clothes when she had lost everything before going there. I heard about the CNAs that made her feel like she was loved and accepted, and about the nurses who always took extra time to make her feel special. I have been in Long Term Healthcare for over 20 years, and we often only hear the negative in this buisness so when I see a place that is working hard everyday to improve for their residents I think it should be acknowledged. So I want to personally commend the Management and Staff for exceeding expectations and improving residents lives!!!
l have been here for almost three months. the staff have all been so carrying and helpful. if I needed to cry they held me. I can say good is very good everyone kind and helpful. they doing a lot of remolding all looks good
