Select Specialty Hospital - Phoenix

I stayed for over 2 months at select specialty at 350 Thomas. I was in a very serious heart and lung issue and could have lost my life. The nurses, cnas respiratory were miracle workers. They provided support encouragement as my left leg had a deep DVT. Physical therapy was outstanding and chandler, Sophia Bree and pat helped me a ton. From Michelle to Melissa to Pam and every nurse and special cna..adrian(goldy locks) to me and Niza and made me feel like it was my home away from home.

This was a great experience for my husband's recovery from West Nile Virus, ensufilitis, and meningitis. He had wonderful and caring nurses, PT staff were exceptional. It is because of the PT staff that he was able to move on to his next therapy. We want to give everyone here a huge thank you for all you have done for us.

I'm a Nurse Manager and have been a nurse for a long time. I was very nervous and skeptical about having to admit my son to Long Term Acute Care Facility after receiving amazing care in ICU. The staff definitely has changed my perspective on LTAC here at this facility. When I was told that my son was transferring to LTAC, I had so much anxiety because I knew the care would change from the ICU setting. As a health care provider, it is really scary to see your loved one suffer and be on the other side as a patient. I can't give enough praises to all the staff that provided care for my son here. All multidisciplinary teams worked together in managing his condition. RT, PT/OT, ST, care managers, but the nursing team had my heart (I might be little biased ). There were some that was lot more laid back (lazy) as I was doing all the care for my son, but for the most part, everyone was so helpful and there were few that really stood out. Karen (CNA), this lady, I can't say enough great things about her!! As long as she has been a CNA, she still remains compassionate and it really shows. She has proved to me over and over again that she continues to do this because she is passionate about what she does and how she provides care. She was very meticulous about how she took she took care of him. She treated my son as if he was her own child/grandchild. I spent most of all my days with him since he was there, witnessed Karen interacting with other patients. She was always so polite, kind, patient, and simply loving. I always knew when she was working before I even saw her because I would walk into a clean, tidy room and my son always smelled clean. I was trying to hard to recruit her!! This facility is lucky to have such an amazing CNA! Brian (CNA), he just really knew how to interact with my son once he started speaking and knew how to redirect him when he was getting agitated. When I couldn't redirect him, Brian always knew how. I would say from my son's perspective, Brian was his favorite. He also was compassionate and treated my son with respect and kindness. Abby (CNA)- very similar to Karen and Brian, very kind, compassionate, caring, and patient! She even came to check on us on break when she wasn't assigned to him to make sure we were okay. I'm excited that she is in school for nursing! CNAs are the heart of nursing and these 3 were just EXCEPTIONAL!!!! Nurses were fantastic too! Jay, Melissa, Greg, and Alvin stands out the most. There are others, but I can't recall all the names. RTs were all fantastic!! I can't recall all their names. Paul and Mike were the last 2 RTs who worked with my son and they are great!! I would recommend this facility to anyone who is in need of Long Term Care. Because of all their wonderful care, my son was off of the ventilator before leaving the facility. I'm forever grateful!!! The staff here are fantastic and really care for their patients as if they were their own family. I highly recommend!!!!!

Horrible. Would give one star If I could, im not sure WHO they end up hiring for these roles but they need a revaluation on who's hiring who. Recruiters are mediocre and clueless.

I am a physician and have not had a very high opinion of LTACHs (long-term, acute-care hospitals). My wife had a long ventilator run at another hospital after a severe illness and was unable to wean from the ventilator. They suggested moving her to Select Specialty Hospital of Phoenix at St. Joseph's Hospital, and I was very reluctant. I did a tour and was very impressed by the staff and the facility, so I agreed to the transfer. Select lived up to their commitment, and had my wife weaned from the ventilator in under 2 weeks. Despite being in an older building, the facility is kept very clean and odor-free. I was most impressed with the staff. Every staff person we met, from janitor to nurses, to nurses' aides, respiratory therapists, and medical staff, were exceptionally nice, pleasant, caring, friendly, and thoughtful. Even when doing the most heinous tasks, they were pleasant and respectful. That meant the most to me and my wife. I would highly recommend this facility should the need arise for anyone's loved one, and would not hesitate to use it again if I ever had to. It has changed my attitude towards LTACHs (at least this one!!).
