UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital

Experiencia fantástica: An excellent facility with wonderful staff!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was very kind and informative, incredibly attentive to helping me recover from my broken hip.

Experiencia fantástica: It was a positive experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I read through the reviews and found some of them disturbing. My experience with the facility and staff was exceptional. I dislike medical facilities to the extreme but UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital staff and expertise was, shall I say enjoyable. I felt safe and as if I was the only patient there. My interaction with the staff was met with concern and an ability to explain to me in lay-mans terms what to expect and what happened to me. The PT and OT Staff took me through steps to orient me to my life. In the near future I will be walking again with little difference to how I was walking prior to the amputation of my left leg. Thank you UWHRH, and keep up with your concern of the clients that choose your facility. Leo M

Experiencia negativa: The CEO is terrible and very underhanded!! They only go thru the motions and then throw you out!! I am not sure how the CEO and the person that is supposed to help the family's and provide the best care even sleep at night!! Very very bad and very very sad experience with these people and the organization!! I always thought the UW was GREAT but they sure have shown me and proved me wrong!! SMH!!! Let me clarify that the care by the cna s, nurses, ot and pt people were AWESOME but the downfall is the ADMINISTRATION!!

Experiencia negativa: Wouldn't return.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly caring and supportive staff. Help and. motivate you to work well to meet your rehabilitation goals. When I found out I needed to go to rehab after my 2nd back surgery, they had been so great for my first rehab stay, that I requested to go their again. I really trusted that they would do a fantastic job to help me get back on my feet again. I cannot recommend them enough. Awesome facility and staff! I would work there if I could!

Experiencia fantástica: I suffered a stroke and was admitted. The staff, therapists, nurses, CNAs, techs, housekeeping and doctors were wonderful. They are the next best thing to miracle workers. Much love and appreciation to the team at UW Rehab center. Hmm.. about that spa....

Experiencia fantástica: This place came highly recommended to us by a friend. He was right. Excellent therapists and staff. Conveniently located to those east of Madison.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was outstanding in every aspect and I truly enjoyed my time there. They were very helpful and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff that worked with me were great. I am grateful for all they did for me. Very professional and great at what they do.

Experiencia positiva: Rehab staff excellent...communication sometimes a bit lacking especially on weekends. Overall very positive

Experiencia fantástica: It was all ok staff took good care of me.

Experiencia fantástica: During my time at UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital, I was very satisfied with everything. I don’t want to mention names because truly everyone was excellent at their job. The whole team was very helpful, friendly, and professional. I felt safe and well supported throughout my stay. I would highly recommend this place

Experiencia positiva: The care I have received at UW Rehab hospital has been very good. Caring nurses, NAs and therapy personnel have surounded me on all shifts. The most consistently inconsistent thing has been the food! One dish will be very good, the next ineatable. I have gotten thing I did not order and not gotten things I have. I truly appreciate the care I have gotten.

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding team of employees. Excellent therapy teams and nursing staff. Comfortable recovery setting. Fully functional gym to aid in recovery.

Experiencia positiva: Most of the staff were wonderful, thoughtful and helpful. I realize they have other patients but you don’t have to keep telling me. The bathroom garbage can has a cover with a foot pedal. That wasn’t helpful for someone in rehab. The paper towels were hard to rip out of the dispenser.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent care- nurses, therapists, CNAs, and support staff! Shendal, Paige, Kaitlyn, and Keisha you were wonderful! Excellent night care throughout my stay and all the staff was super motivating during the day. Nice size room and huge window which was nice.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice clean facility. Helpful staff. Competent nurses and aides. Great therapists. Good food.

Experiencia negativa: Nurses take half an hour to over an hour to help you to the bathroom!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I recieved outstanding care here. The nurses, Nurses aids, and of course the Occupational and Physical therapy. I continue to work on things from home but they got me here quickly

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was extremely helpful and very friendly I felt really good about the time I spent there, and really enjoyed talking to the people that work there. The days seemed to pass quickly and I was feeling great about my situation even though it was a very difficult and painful time. It was a great situation and with my pain level it was exactly what I needed even though I didn't want to be there at all before I went there. The facility is very nice and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff, in all areas make this hospital great. The therapist are compassionate and involved more than I expected.

Experiencia fantástica: Well cared for by competent, empathetic professionals.

Experiencia fantástica: A first class Hospital. Medical Staff that cares, Going above and beyond every time. Wonderful Food too. Private rooms. 5-stars.

Experiencia negativa: On the positive side: The therapists are very good at what they do to get you moving again. On the downside: The night staff is incompetent. They mess up stuff and blame the day shift. Overall, the nursing staff seems frazzled at times. The therapy room smells like b.o. and barf. The building seems like it's run on a tight budget where the showers are barely operable and the food comes from a second hand source (food pantry).

Experiencia negativa: I would give zero stars if I could. My brother is a patient or a prisoner some would say. They have taken his phone away from him. He isn’t allowed to call anyone he wants and he wants to talk to his mom. We can’t even drop food off to him. It’s unreal. They are not advocating for my brother!

Experiencia negativa: Won’t allow family or friends to visit patients or talk on the phone. 100% don’t recommend this facility. Can’t even send my brother a meal, gift or a card. Management will not talk to me or give me an explanation of why.

Experiencia negativa: Protocol is prioritized over patient needs and care here. For example, I was admitted from Meriter Hospital on Saturday, July 13, at 12:30 p.m. after a two-day delay in admission because UW Rehab did not have staff sufficient to "legally admit me" until Saturday. This meant I paid $200 to be transferred instead of $105 had it happened on a weekday. When I arrived, I was told it was "protocol" to NOT let patients access the bathroom, even with a walker, until staff had seen how I moved. I argued with them for six hours without success. No alternative, such as a commode, bed pan, or even a catheter, was offerred, only that I needed to "hold it" until the following day, which is in itself contrary to patient hygiene, welfare, etc. This precipitated a psychiatric crisis for me, and I was taken to UW Hospital ER. At the ER, the psychiatric doctor told me, shaking his head in disbelief, "Of course they should let you go to the bathroom!" Because ER needed to do an urinalysis, they brought me a bedpan, and I finally got to pee about 7:30 p.m., SEVEN HOURS after my admission to UW Rehab. I acknowledge I have a complex medical history, including adverse effects to some prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and even some supplements. It is therefore CRITICAL that I be asked BEFORE any medication IF I want it. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN on the evening of 7/15/2024, when without being asked if I wanted it nor being told I was getting it, I was given, WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT, Melatonin, because it is UW Rehab's "protocol" to have Melatonin as a "standard PRN." The Melatonin plus Oxycodone plus Tylenol put me into a stupor, particularly scary for me as a survivor of sexual assault. When I discovered on 7/16/2024 that I had been given Melatonin without being asked if I wanted it or told I was being given it, I told the doctor: I should have been asked if I wanted Melatonin - I would have declined since I was sleeping just fine; been told it was being given to me; and UW Rehab should not have ANY "standard" PRN's when there are risks of possible substantial adverse effects to ANY, or even ALL, prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements. He agreed with me on every point. BUT, will protocol be changed, or must we wait until an unnecessary and avoidable injury or fatality occurs? I have since my discharge 07/18/2024 been drinking lots and lots of water to clear my system of this. As of today, 07/24/2024, I continue to have side effects: muddled thinking; inability to think of the "right" word, and I am a published writer!; difficulty remembering my favorite, self-soothing songs. These symptoms are especially scary as they mirror those of Alzheimer's, which runs in my family. At my discharge a case manager told me she was sorry they did not meet my expectations. My sole expectation was that they "do no harm." By putting protocol over patients, they repeatedly did not meet this basic standard of "do no harm."

Experiencia negativa: My first review was asked to be taken down.by a upper personnel at the Rehabilitation center. After going to my surgeon to check on my wound at a different facility. I found out that I'm alone in the experience of this place.. I need to inform this place really needs to work many things.. communication! Get organized! Need to be human like they are at home! Pride and attitudes needs to be cut off!! Only 2 physical therapist shine this place Marissa and Conner!! This place seems to manufactured medical field and patients need real care. No one should be waiting for pain meds for 2 1/2 hours and no one explains why.

Experiencia fantástica: Great! Prepared me to go home! Loved how they pushed me!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Great nursing care, therapies that really mattered and the food is excellent. Also enjoyed visits with my dog.

Experiencia fantástica: I was well taken care of and constantly challenged. My condition improved steadily thanks to all of my therapists!

Experiencia negativa: If I could rate zero, I would. The worst care and let’s not start on communication issues. I hope anyone that is there has family to help them with showers, bring food and just plain everyday needs!

Experiencia fantástica: The entire staff at the hospital are very friendly and professional. During a very difficult time they made my stay a pleasant one.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for rehab. Staff are great peopl

Experiencia fantástica: The people were wonderful caring and very helpful. I went there after being in the hospital for a little bit. I was very optimistic if I'd ever be able to walk again and they got me back on my feet and I can actually breathe deeper feel. More of life and I am so thankful for the whole staff. As I have a ways to go yet but they gave me the hope that the future will be brighter for me.

Experiencia fantástica: Just want to let everyone that took care of me while I was there in room 110 know that I think you all did an excellent job. I want to especially thank Rose (occupational therapy) and Johnathon (physical therapy) for the kind and caring help provided to me during my stay. Our sessions were incredible and I'll always remember. Lawrence Laubmei

Experiencia fantástica: Top notch staff, therapy staff was excellent, they took very good care of me.

Experiencia fantástica: Terrific experience! Staff is incredible with caring and support. The therapists are second to non

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice people .

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable! I enjoyed my stay here and feel a million times more convenient and comfortable going home. The food was pretty good too!

Experiencia fantástica: This facility has been Life changing. UW Madison Health Rehabilitation Hospital has some of the best physical therapists occupational therapists and respiratory therapists that we have ever worked with. The physical and occupational therapists in my opinion were world class, the knowledge and effort put into my healing by Maggie and Steph are unsurpassed in quality. I realize that it takes hard work and effort on my part to make sure that my healing goes well but it takes good mentorship and dedication on their part to get me going in the right direction. I will be forever indebted to the team of healthcare individuals at this facility for putting my quality of life back to where it needed to be. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone a need of getting their quality of life back. Scott Jagodzinski

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great stay at UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital in February of 2022 on 2nd floor, everyone was so very kind and patient also very encouraging not one unkind team member in the whole team ! They were out of this world and the physical/occupational team were equally everything l said the 2nd floor team was, l've heard some horror stories of other's at other places, where they stopped pushing their help buttons because some of their NA's were so unkind l'm so great full and thankful that was nothing like my experience

Experiencia fantástica: Being in a hospital is not fun. However, having wonderful nursing, doctor, and therapy staff makes it a lot easier. The nursing staff at this acute rehab center were attentive, polite, and comfortable to talk to. The doctors saw me every single morning, which made me feel important. The rehab therapists helped me work through my needs in order to get back to fully functioning after six seizures. My Physical Therapist, Maggie worked with me to regain my strength and challenge me to work hard through my exercises. My Occupational Therapist, Carrin made sure I was comfortable and confident so that I was ready to return home by putting me through exercises that challenged my brain to think and work at the same time. Lastly, my Speech Therapist, Allie was the one who worked with me to fix my brain to put words back in my mouth. I will always be grateful for this rehab center, especially the people who practice here. I have never left a review for any place, let this be the first. If you ever have to come here, just know that every single person takes so much care and pride in what they do.

Experiencia fantástica: This was a great experience. EVERYONE was professional, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. I felt I received excellent care and was well taken care of.

Experiencia fantástica: The OP and pt people I had worked with were great

Experiencia fantástica: My son was admitted here in 2019, the care he received was genuine. The Doctors and Nurses were very knowledgeable, caring people. My son had a dislocated knee, he is now walking with a slight limp. But he able to live a normal life now! He has some pain here and there as he has returned to the work force! But hadn't he gotten the care he needed he may have not pushed himself to be where he is today, thank you! Librado Garcia and Moth

Experiencia fantástica: Great place and staff. Really helped my recovery. Good food too.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome! Working 3 hours a day.6 days a week. The staff is very friendly kind and loving. They sit down and really listen to how you feel. And what you want to accomplish to meet your goals. So if you're looking for a Great place to get Physical and Occupational therapy for yourself This IS the place you'll want to be at!

Experiencia fantástica: My dad was recently at this facility and I don't even know where to start. Everyone one his care team was absolutely amazing. His therapists truly cared about him and his recovery. The nursing staff and the nurses assistants were fabulous. His case manager did all the heavy lifting so to speak to make it easier on us. The words thank you dont come close to our gratitude for this facility and their staff. If you or a loved one needs a rehabilitation hospital, make this your first and only call

Experiencia fantástica: I was admitted to UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital early July. The staff was phenomenal. The physical therapist was such a pleasure to work with. She knew just when I needed an extra push. My OT was equally a joy to have on my team. I would definitely recommend this place if anyone needs any sort of rehab. Check them out. Maybe they can help you like they helped me.

Experiencia fantástica: I found the facility to be exceptional, and the staff even more so. I was impressed at the level of teamwork and communication that was happening between medicine, nursing, and physical and occupational therapy. Case management was superb.. My only real complaint was the presence of a highly effective street lamp outside of my window and a woefully inadequate shade inside of my window. Sleep wasn’t easy in a well-lit room! Maintenance tried a fix with a shower curtain rod that didn’t make it for 24 hours. Similarly, the toilet paper dispenser in my bathroom had been removed to accommodate a previous patient. Throughout the length of my stay I was assured that it would be replaced the next day. Never happened. Despite these idiosyncrasies of room 206, I will still highly recommend your facility as one of the most efficient, effective, and patient centered organizations I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience. Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: My son had full knee replacement. Staff was very professional. His favorite nurse was Natalie. She was compassionate and caring and treated him with respect. She always explained things very well to both of us. She was always upbeat and caring. Very good experience! Thank you to all staff th

Experiencia fantástica: Went here post craniotomy. Liz PT and Rachel OT were absolutely amazing and set me up for safety and continued success at home. They communicated clearly to what I should do when working with other PT/OTs so no time felt wasted. Dr. Deutsch was personable and the nurses and CNAs friendly and prompt. CEO Ken visited frequently and went out of his way to make it work for my 7 wk old baby to visit. Overall it was well worth the commitment to do inpatient rehab.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at this facility is amazing and friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful experience! The therapy is excellent and they are continuously looking for your improvement and keeping you safe. Covid makes things hard and having one person but everyone is very pleasant. Thank you!!

Experiencia fantástica: I enjoyed my 9 days in the Rehab Hospital. The staff were all wonderful, compassionate, kind and helpful. Their encoragement helped me in my recovery. This included, the doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, housekeeping staff, therapists and all others. Oh, and the food was delicious. I never had a meal that I didn't like. Thank you all for your help in my recovery. I would recommend this facility to any one who may need the extra help.

Experiencia fantástica: I stayed at UW rehab for about two weeks while recovering from my double lung transplant. I was scared when I first went because I had been warned the work would be arduous. They put me at ease and never pushed me beyond my limits though they definitely pushed me beyond my expectations of my ability. I am grateful for my time there and the people who provided me care.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was incredible. Highly efficient, encouraging, always willing to go the extra mile, extremely knowledgeable, I left feeling like I had good friends in a great support system

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great week with caretakers after a bike accident. My room was comfy n food was GREaT. Worked daily with 4 therapists who completed my leg pain and head pain n almost took away my shoulder pain. What’s left for me to work on is the speech therapy n injury caused by my head concussion. I was helped slot in prep for my release to go home. Sue simon

Experiencia fantástica: They are angelseveryone that took care of me.

Experiencia fantástica: I was here for a month after shattering my L1 vertebra. What the physical and occupational therapist did was phenomenon. The Nurses and CNAS are top notch, very caring.

Experiencia fantástica: My name is Kim Kolosovsky. I am Delores' husband. I was at the facility in 2015. The therapists and ALL staff were second to none . The intensityof the rehab was excellent and exactly what I needed to recover and get back to full strength.

Experiencia fantástica: I just finished 10 days at the UW Rehab Hospital. Very impressive program. Wonderful staff from top to bottom. Most patients come to the Rehab Hospital at the most vulnerable times of their lives. The overall vibe is extremely friendly, helpful, and compassionate. Therapists are experienced, skilled and passionate about helping their patients. A sincere THANK YOU to EVERYONE at the UW Rehab Hospital! The only negative to the Rehab Hospital, was that the windows seriously leaked! I was there in January, and the cold was seeping in through the Big, Beautiful, cheap, inefficient, leaky windows! Very surprising to me, but the staff was well aware. Probably an odd thing to mention in a review.... but this was actually no small matter. Very odd. Especially at a hospital. Whoever built that building should be held responsible.

Experiencia fantástica: Great food and service. Physical therapy is very helpful to get me back to my house in a short period of time. Thank you very much!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing facility, Dedicated staff. Thank you for the Large part each one of you devoted to my care and recovery, of GBS. Physical, Occupational and Speech, Therapy as well as Medical and Personal care, individually and as a team. My family and I are forever Greatfull to you what you do.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff dedicated to care of patients

Experiencia fantástica: My son suffered a severe spinal cord injury, I can never thank all of the people there that worked with him and our family to give him the best care possible. They have a team there that worked together to ensure all of his needs were taken into consideration. I will never regret choosing this facility to care for my son during his recovery. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: This place is incredible! Fantastic facility! Fantastic staff! Fantastic results!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been absolutely amazed at the generous care this staff gives (not to mention the new facility in a beautiful lot). We've seen our share of facilities and this one is at the very top of our list. From the cleaning staff to the CNAs, RNs, OTs, PTs, speech therapy, to care management I've rarely seen such amazing care. I will always feel comfortable sending my loved ones here.
