The people working in Heliomare are really good, friendly and caring. They know how to make the residents calm, doing their best on how to help them. Avoiding Stress as much as possible. Perfect ! ...
Handy for people with disabilities.
Good service!
My friend placed a chair with Swiss cheese in the elevator
I didn't know that there was so much to get out of it.
Thank you, great team.
Can always be better, but I am very satisfied how far this team has brought me.
p.s. Don't miss the pizzas, squabbling and oriental meals on Wednesday.
After a brain haemorrhage I came left paralyzed on the stretcher with the ambulance to Heliomare at the end of August. At the end of October I was able to walk to the car in the parking lot to go home. What a great institute and what a lovely skilled employees. The same day that I arrived, physio was already started. In the previous three weeks in the hospital I had only hung in a wheelchair and now I was immediately helped in the exercise room to get up and try to take steps again. Hard work and sometimes frustrating. I was training for the Dam-to-Dam run and then suddenly you have to learn to walk in the bridge again. But it worked; I soon no longer needed a wheelchair and no longer a stick and I walked "loosely" to my appointments at the building.
I was lucky that I was there in the summer, that the weather was very nice and that the beach is very close. So I practiced a lot on the beach and also regularly in the evening drinking coffee in a beach pavilion. On a very nice day we went with the entire department through the dunes towards the sea, with wheelchair users and all ..
Someone writes elsewhere that the food was "seriously bad", but that is not my experience. "In the morning you already got the menu in front of you and you could choose what you would like to eat in the evening. Something for everyone, my favorite was the mini-Indian rice table, but otherwise everything was very good to eat, just fine At one point pizza was ordered, really at a pizzeria, so that tasted great, and then once a month fries day, delicious!
No matter how sad it sometimes was, I still remember my Helioma time with great pleasure. It felt like a warm bath (yes there is also a heated pool) with all lovely people who are really there for you to get you back on track as quickly and effectively as possible. Of course you have to do something about it yourself, but everything is aimed at getting the client back on his own as much as possible and returning his autonomy. In my case that worked out very well and I am soooo grateful to everyone, the ladies of the physiotherapy and occupational therapy (Selena and Maartje and Naseema, the entire sport and fitness department (for cycling in the dunes, great when that worked again and again) swimming (mary) of course I cannot forget the 3A nurses for their endless help.
Everything after the evening food, that was seriously bad!
Fantastic time had heart worked top therapists especially Danielle and Deborah big class toppers greetings from dirk
23-12-17 I got an S.A.B. 3.5 weeks in Leiden LUMC (partly because I got vasospasm in my head after 2 weeks and was back to square one) and then further rehabilitated in heliomare (3B) for 3.5 weeks. Especially cognitive and building up condition because that was hard to find after 3.5 weeks in hospital in bed, you didn't see much of me and that is why I was often asked what I had because I had not had a loss after my brain haemorrhage. (Motor problems after the spasms, but that was short-lived) I often think back to all those lovely people (staff and patients) with a very warm feeling, especially the condition building up hours with Bas I often think back, a lot in the sports hall badminton and behind the frisbee and many cycling through the neighborhood by the sea. I was also 2 to 3 times a week in the pool and although the water was too hot to swim laps fanatically, I still had a lovely swim. Breakfast, lunch and dinner together with the fellow patients back then was always very nice . And many will disagree with me, but I loved the food! 9-2-18 steamed ready to go home (zaandam). Later I had a sleep study via heliomare because of insomnia, which I probably told my S.A.B. have left. All in all had a great time in heliomare!
Fantastic attitude - my disabled child has made giant leaps.
Pleasant accommodation for patients, at least as far as you can call it pleasant if you have to go here, of course. In any case, there are nice and knowledgeable staff around who absolutely know what they are doing. . .
My life started again by prayer and nursing staff under the guidance of the specializations that Heliomare has in house!
What an enormous amount of knowledge brought together and used by beautiful lovely people.
Great institute for rehabilitation!
