Our father, Iosif Stotland, became a patient at this center at the age of 102 after a surgery for fracturing the largest bone in the human body (femur leg bone from the hip to the knee).

After having been released from the hospital, he was not able to walk and even stand on his feet because of acute pain. After about two months (from March 15 to May 12, 2016) of rehabilitation at the center, he was able to walk with different types of walkers for more than 100 feet with practically normal speed and without rest.

The center is excellent, and the specialists are excellent as well.

From his first movements to his final recovery, our father was in safe and caring hands of physical therapist Svitlana Gotsabina an amazing professional and an incredible person. It is difficult to convey the emotions of our father on the last day of their successful cooperation.

We would also like to thank the occupational therapist, assigned to work with our father, Nataliya Drobotya. She did a great job preparing him for his everyday tasks.

There isn t enough room here to tell about all the staff that helped our father, but we would like to praise one more person, who knows everything and can help with everything Malvina Zukina. She is the social worker to whom our father was assigned. From the very first day and through the last hours of the last day, she helped us with various issues that were very difficult for us to resolve. When we had a feeling that we were at a dead end, she was able to help in a matter of minutes, proving again and again how quick, efficient, and highly professional she is.

During his stay at the center, our father was under constant observation of Dr. Stolyar. We quickly found out that any change in our father s health condition will be analyzed, and an immediate action will be taken to adjust his treatment. When you have such a great doctor, you do not have to worry about your loved ones.

In general, the rehabilitation center is very well run and organized, as well as very well equipped. Nurses and nursing aide staff are very attentive and helpful. The food is excellent, and the variety is suitable for any individual taste.

God forbid you or your loved one should get into any trouble, but if you do, and you are contemplating where to turn to for help, consider this rehabilitation center. We highly recommend it.
