Select Specialty Hospital - Northwest Detroit

This is about the Select Care facility in these hospitals it is not only this one all of them all over Michigan. If I could give this place a -5 stars I would, we just had to go and rescue my father-in-law from there sub-standard s****ty care. He was bruised and forced to stay in his bed, when he had to urinate they had him use the one at bedside and when they took it they would put it next to his food and occasionally it would spill on his food. They care little or not at all about any patient in their care, I advise if you have family there get them out quick. And if you are about to have a family member, or about to go there yourself please consider your health first and not your providers bottom line.

The Staff at Select Northwest are angles. My dad suffered from Covid 19. He was in ICU at DMC SG for over one month. He was on a vent, trached and pegged before arriving at Select Northwest. Before choosing Select Northwest I had interviewed the DON “Ms brown” the director of respiratory “ Larry the godsend”, Nick in case management, and the director of rehab. I told them about my feelings and how I wanted to do right by my dad. I told the staff that I was a very involved family member who would be calling and speaking with them daily. The DON and her team stated they had no problems with me calling every day and even supplied me with direct numbers to contact them daily with questions. The Don stated that she would instruct her staff to contact me twice a day to give me updates should I choose Select Northwest. During the conversation, I informed the director of respiratory that my dad had a prior trach over 20 years ago and that I would want this trach removed asap. Larry did not make any promises but stated he would do his best to meet my goals. After finally speaking with the director of rehab and nick from case management I elected to admit my dad to their facility.nnAfter over 60 days I admitted my Vent depended on dad to Select Northwest for continued respiratory care. While there I spoke with Larry daily about my dad's status. At times there were no updates, but Larry called anyway to keep his promise. Over time larry would have me meet the other therapist on his team who would be taking care of my dad. One therapist that stood out was Angle. Angle was an angle, she provided me with reassurance that my dad would be ok and also keep me grounded in faith. One night Angle, facetime me and spoke with me regarding my dad's condition, she had no updates, but she wanted to pray with me. That night we cried and shared a moment that I hope to never experience again. We were two people brought together by a pandemic crying and praying for answers. As time went on I grew to trust the whole respiratory team taking care of my dad and I would share a special moment with every rt who took care of my dad.nMs. Brown, the DON leads a team of dedicated nurses & patient care techs. I found the staff to be very nice and caring. They provided top-notch care. My dad stayed at select for about 60 days. During the time there my dad did not develop any wounds/bedsores, did not suffer any foot drop, and remained healthy. While in a coma, my dad received bedside therapy to help prevent additional mobility loss. After about 45 days my dad was awoken from his Coma. After being awoken, he received the care he needed to have his Trach removed and his diet upgrade. At my dad's time of discharge, my dad was able to stand after 105 days in the bed. He was able to eat regular food and most importantly Larry removed the trach.nnDuring my dad’s time at Select Northwest, Nick the case manager made sure my needs were met daily. If I had any questions, he supplied his cell phone number to me for my use any day or night.nIf you are questioning if you should admit your loved one here at Select Northwest my answer is yes. As a nurse, I know the care my dad received here exceeded the norm. Not only did they help save my dads life they made sure he suffered no ill will while under their carenFrom the bottom of my heart, I want to take Ms brown, larry, angle, nick, and the rest of team northwest for giving me my dad back. You guys are angles.

My daughter took me there today because I have a deep cut on my foot. The staff and the physician could not have been nicer. I was kind of a big sissy and they were amazing.

At the age of thirteen I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent brain surgery at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The hospital has won many awards and accolades since its establishment, and I personally never received anything but the best of care while a patient.

The facility was very clean, and many measures were in place for social distancing and safety. An overall great experience.
