I have had the pleasure to be with this company for 3years now. The past seven months have been the best. We are truly a family and love our residents deeply. I have had health issues of my own this past year and the team I work with have been nothing but amazing, helpful, and supportive during it all. I’m proud to say how far our building has came. When I first started here the facility did not have the best reputation. With hard work and dedication from this team the facility has done a complete turn around. I can say with pride now where I work and am truly appreciative for the company I work for.

I have currently been employed within this building since March of 2022. Since then I have watched PHC and the team created at ERHCC turn this building inside out. The culture, the building, the team, the quality of care, and so much more is immensely hands down, top tier. I am so proud and so grateful to be apart of something so wonderful! Thinking, this is only the beginning. THE BEST IS YET TO COME.I can’t thank PHC as a whole in believing in us and helping guide us. To the staff, the department heads, and the residents, THANK YOU! Each and everyone of you have continued to make such a positive impact on our goals and visions at ERHCC but have truly impacted my own life.So much love for this company and these wonderful people at ERHCC. ❤️

Let me preface this by saying working as an "outside" vendor in a facility, such as a contract Therapy company, can be quite challenging at times. However, I have worked for Select Rehabilitation in this facility since March 2022, and I have been accepted and respected since Day 1. I have never been made to feel like an "outsider". The staff are all like a big family and work together with and for the residents. I have seen changes in a very positive way, and I am proud to be apart of this team and continue to strive to do better!

My daughter has been in this facility for a number of years. It was not always a good place for her. Because of the care she received there in the past I had no trust in the workers or the administration. Since Mika has been there its a 1-80 turn around. I have trust that my daughter is taken care of. I no longer worry about her if I am not able to come check on her. Check on her is what I did before Mika. Now I visit with my daughter because there are no longer major issues with her care. This facility has come a long way. I would recommend Effingham Rehabilitation to anyone for their loved ones care

I have worked at ERHCC for over a year now. When I first started my position as a CNA there was a lack of, about everything. A year later, this is by far the best place I've ever worked. Our team is a family, and our residents are apart of that family. I can honestly say, I would place a loved one in this facility, and know with confidence they would be taken care of properly!

I started working here in March 2022 shortly after the new administrator took over. In the time that I’ve been here (going on 7 months), the administrator, along side all of her amazing staff, has provided SO many new, positive, and exciting changes to Effingham Rehab and Healthcare Center. I cannot wait to see where this facility will be in March 2023 from new staff, more remodeling, new residents, and more. Exciting things are happening and I am so proud to be apart of something that will be so big and beautiful one day (soon!).

Recently I have had the pleasure of working professionally with the amazing group at Effingham Rehab. I reached out the them to assist with the relocation of a resident from their Skilled Facility into my Supportive Living Facility, and was very pleasantly surprised. I worked closely with Emily, the Social Services Director, who worked very hard to ensure a smooth and successful transition. The thing that got me and made me leave this review wasn't my interactions with the building, although that was very pleasant, it was what the lady we relocated had to say. I spent several hours with her hearing all about the PEOPLE from Effingham Rehab. The staff that she now considers family. Everyone from the smart young hard working Administrator, to Emily who went out of her way to ensure this resident had shoes and clothes when she had lost everything before going there. I heard about the CNAs that made her feel like she was loved and accepted, and about the nurses who always took extra time to make her feel special. I have been in Long Term Healthcare for over 20 years, and we often only hear the negative in this buisness so when I see a place that is working hard everyday to improve for their residents I think it should be acknowledged. So I want to personally commend the Management and Staff for exceeding expectations and improving residents lives!!!

What They’re Saying

I recently was a short-term resident at Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care following surgery. The staff was incredible and deserve special mention. I appreciated the service and, most of all, the friendship extended to me when I was a resident there. All the CNAs tended to my needs. Their gentle and kind attention was exceptional; I am sure it sped my recovery. Those who prepared and served my meals also played a big role. The food was excellent and the cheery smiles of the servers brightened the sometimes stressful days. The Pathways therapists pushed me to stretch those stiff muscles.

I am sure that I would not be doing as well as I am – and be back in my own apartment — without them. Those who made it possible for me to get to my doctor appointments aided tremendously. It was definitely easier for me in the Polo Rehab van than in a car. You gentlemen are true gentle-men. I truly feel that the Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care facility is one of the best available in this area. I cannot thank all the staff enough. It is top notch nursing care.

Successful Therapy Patient

Everyone from housekeeping to the nursing staff is wonderful. I know that my mom is in the hands of wonderful, caring people. When she came there 2 years ago, I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing, but you have proven over and over again that it was the best thing for her that I could have ever done when I could no longer meet her needs myself. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom

Family Member of a Resident

Petersen Health Care was an absolute answer to prayers for our family as we sought the proper facility for our Aunt. The facilities are very home-like, and the care and love given to the residents by the staff is exceptional. I would recommend Petersen Health Care to anyone looking for a home for their loved one with dementia.

Family Member

Well, this was the best decision I could have made for Mom. Every staff person listened to me as though my concerns were their only concerns. They took into consideration all of Mom’s individual needs, even her personal preferences that were not within the normal protocols of the nursing home. They really listened when I talked. They kept me informed. They respected her wishes, through me, since she could no longer express herself.

Family Member

The time has come to leave the beautiful people in this place. Having been here before, I was impressed with the new therapy department. Occupational Therapy has helped me learn new ways to put on my shoes and socks and I can do it by myself. Physical Therapy has helped to strengthen my legs and get me back to walking again. If I need therapy again, I will definately come here!
