Vibra Rehabilitation Hospital of Rancho Mirage

Fantastic experience: Going from Eisenhower Medical Center's caring arms to Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern California was smooth since all medical records are transferred to this rehab center. The floors are polished and the hallways were cool and inviting with their many large windows. The nurses were just as caring and professional as Eisenhower. The nurses were there 24 hours a day. I enjoyed the nursing staff from assistants, LVN's, RN's and above. I saw two doctors at least, each morning. These doctors were energetic and caring. They were some of my best cheerleaders. All medication, blood pressure, etc., is monitored by these doctors. The third doctor, and seemingly the man in charge, showed up one day when I was drying my hair after a shower. He told me how great I was doing. I felt proud! Taking a shower is hard! Of course I had an occupational therapist with me at all times. The motto for all parties was definitely, DON'T LET OUR PATIENTS FALL! I gave up any independence for that consideration. I was recovering from a craniotomy and did NOT want to fall! I had to be assisted in bathroom needs, and anything I needed to do out of bed. I was so glad I had my own nice room and my own TV. It was always kept clean by the nice custodial staff. There is a huge window in each room. Each bathroom is pretty large. The food was quite good. After breakfast, a kind gentleman took my food order for the next day. He would offer suggestions if I couldn't decide. Therapy was difficult because I was so weak. On the day before I left, we were to do a group activity for fine motor skills. Halloween crafts. I was quite reluctant in my head. LOL!! That activity turned out to be fun. Being with 3 other ladies was comforting. They were having trouble with therapies too. One lady used the word, "torture." I later thought it would be a good thing to do exercises together during physical therapy. I gave 5 stars because there was so much good to say about everything. I do think the mind needs to be addressed. A chaplin would help. The one thing that annoyed me was the unfriendly woman who came into my room at least once per day to scribble down the times for each therapy appointment. She never smiled. She never asked how I was doing. As she seemed to be in charge in the gym, she would sit in the middle of the room with her frowning countenance. She watched one therapist peruse his phone the whole time as he came up with things for me to do. She should have gotten up and redirected this therapist's attention. Neither did she do anything when the guy disappeared for 10 minutes. She was watching the entire time. That woman should be in some back office shuffling papers. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful place to be cared for. A special shout out to Jessica for so carefully putting in an IV with 3 inputs that didn't hurt me the whole time I was there. I am a hard stick and she did her job well! I'll never forget the wonderful care I received at this rehabilitation hospital!

Positive experience: Some of nurses don’t have a heart but therapist are great!!! My mom had both knees replaced and there were two nurses that hold her pain medication several times… even tough with was prescribed by doctor… they couldn’t understand her pain.

Positive experience: I think that Vibra did a great job. The staff was superb, and the nurses and the therapists were even better. I particularly enjoyed working with Eillene, Ariana, Ana, Paige, Dawn, Sally, and many others. Food was quite good, and got better as time went by. Gymnasium was good, but could use some additional machines. Over all, a good experience. I would recommend Vibra to friends and associates,

Fantastic experience: My partner was hospitalized at Vibra for several weeks after a serious bicycle accident. We could not have asked for a better setting, in terms of excellent physical and occupational therapy, nursing, physician, caregiver support, food service, administration. The staff is highly skilled and caring, across the board. In addition, the facility itself is 5 star quality. She went in on a gurney and after intense therapy was able to walk out with the aid of a walker on her own two feet. We are so grateful to have this option in our Coachella Valley.

Fantastic experience: Let it be known , Vibra IS THE PLACE , without a doubt. You looking for that hospital you can depend on to treat you or your loved one with dignity and compassion because you know how awful Desert Regional can be and how over- stretched Eisenhower (great place too) is ? Look no further ! Holy smokes , I'm blown away with the treatment I received from Vibra ( Ashley , Misty , Anna , Taylor , Carla , Chandra ,and the rest who's names elude me !) these Nurses and their assistants have got this business wrapped up in a league of their own. (Never did they break character even after I did). Professionals, professionals, professionals ! And such Beautiful Women ! Yeah , whoever does the hiring around here is obviously a Man and has created a blissful environment- perfect for healing. Ahh but , coming back around to compliment this creation , let me tell you about the food service here: TOP NOTCH !!! I received better service here than I have in any 5 star hotel or restaurant in my life ! The Chef(s) here would make Gordon Ramsey VERY pleased. They've tailor- made every meal to my exact specs without fail - and added the extra touch of Flavour that sets this Kitchen above all the rest. And the Servers here were exceptional and worthy of the best praise for their eye in detail. All the way down to a packet of sugar , they've outdone what I thought made a great Server( I was a Waiter for 10 yrs once) Top Notch through and through. They should open this kitchen to the general public. Overall , I've done what I could to stay as long as conceivably possible here. It's the first hospital EVER, that I tried to stay longer. Thank you Vibra ! Management has got this business down to a science. Kudos !
