Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation - Marlton

Darcy and Kessler have been great experiences for my 92 year old mother. Appointments are on time. Everyone is taking Covid precautions. Darcy's interactions have been respectful and effective.

I arrived on a Monday evening 5 days post-op with bilateral knee replacement surgery. My surgeon would not do both knees unless I would go to Kessler for rehab.nnWhen I got there, they had a wheelchair but no walker, and there was a grab bar on only one side of the toilet. When I informed the nurse that I hadn't used a wheelchair and had not learned to transfer to it and that I needed 2 handrails to get up off the toilet, they immediately got a walker and commode chair. It really helped to ease my mind!nnThey were very accommodating to my dietary needs, and the dietary dept did everything they could to help me. The pharmacy reviewed my dietary supplements that I brought from home, and labeled them so I could take them every day.nnThe entire time I was there, all of the nurses and nursing assistants were very kind and compassionate. If I needed assistance and rang the bell, it was promptly answered. The ratio of nurses and nursing assistants to patients is very low, so help is always at hand!nnThe next day, the Occupational Therapist was there first thing to assist me with a shower and dressing. This was part assessment, to determine what sort of therapy I would need, and part educational, giving my strategies for washing and dressing myself. Physical Therapy was fantastic, each session building on the previous session and as I pushed on to improve everytime, the therapists were eager to help me do so in a safe manner. My main PT, Sarah, and main OT, Kaitlyn, were wonderful! They challenged me to improve, and were very encouraging. All of the OT/PT staff who worked with me the week I was there were fantastic. Once I demonstrated that I could consistently get out of bed on my own and go to the bathroom independently, they gave me permission to walk independently in the hall and to have my bed alarm turned off so I could get up whenever I wanted or needed to do so.nnI am now 2 weeks post-op, and home. I am continuing to improve every day. I would not be as far along in my recovery if it were not for the excellent care I received. If I ever need rehab again, I will insist on Kessler!

Kessler has amazing Physical Therapists, as a bilateral above knee amputee, I feel blessed to work with Andrea Varone for my prosthetic therapy. I've had several PTs over the years, but none with her knowledge of prosthetics, she's amazing and I highly recommend her for all amputees!!!
