Last weekend was our last visit to the Westview Healthcare Center. While I don’t have a lot of experience with rehabilitation hospitals and nursing homes, this place was great! The staff was just so phenomenal. Super kind, flexible with all of our visits and crazy hours and letting us help out in physical therapy. I’m super excited that my mom went home on Monday, but so happy that she had excellent care while at Westview.
Last weekend was also our last visit to Zip’s diner. It is close to Westview, but not close to where she lives in Woodstock. It sounds funny, but I did a quick post on them. It is an awesome rail-car style diner. The food is great and so is the staff. If you’re ever driving on Rte 290 through Connecticut I highly recommend pulling off at exit 41. TOTALLY worth it!
She has a few side effects from everything that has happened and is cautious about what she is eating. But she is going home to skilled nursing care and a CNA. I’m hoping everyone will continue to visit just as frequently as there will be a lot more room for visitors and it will be a lot more comfortable in her apartment. She will continue to use a wheelchair or be in bed. The damage to her spinal cord seems to be permanent. After our last visit, Sophia made an exercise video for Grammy based on the exercises her PT had her doing at Westview.
We’re super excited to visit her next week at home!
Good news about your mom. What a great motivator for Grammy to have an exercise video made special by her granddaughter, way to go Sophia!
