As a daughter trusting someone to care for my dad was not easy to do. My dad was in hospital and went to another rehab place. The rehab place did nothing for him and eventually pushed him out. Rehab Select at Shelby Ridge brought my dad in and there has been tremendous improvement with my dad since day 1. I am so thankful we chose Shelby Ridge for him.
For the last 3 weeks Ive been place at Shelby Ridge rehab facility following a car accident that I had back on Christmas Day. I decided to take just a few moments out of my busy day to acknowledge some of the staff and admin. Dawn was most helpful to me in every way possible. She went out of her way in ways that were above her job requirements.Some of the notable cnas were Christina she had been my CNA the majority of the time that I had spent here. Also Danielle and Angela . Another group of individuals that went out of their way to make my stay pleasant was miss Tammy Vanessa Kelly and Melody. I dare not forget to mention miss Breche Alvette and Jordan. Thank you ladies for everything.
A friend of mine is currently there and has been dealing with management all week. Concerning her departure and transportation we were told that UAB would provide these services. If we find out this is not thru UAB and my friend is charged we will seek legal counsentation.
The staff were nice and really tried to be helpful and attentive. The physical occupational and speech therapist are all great. The facility itself could use a facelift. Please note the facility only has two 2 private rooms and are usually used for patients in isolation. So dont anticipate a private room. They will try to work with you about dietary restrictions. However they cannot accommodate severe diabetics or anyone on a strict low sodium diet. There is only one according to her custodian so routine facilityroom cleaning isnt daily. There are no private showers and you maymay not receive a shower on your assigned day.
The staff is always nice and speak well of our loved one. Her caregivers take good care of her in our absence and it is greatly appreciated. We dont live close so it gives us comfort to know shes being taken care of in a great manner.Thank you for all you do.
I am a retired nurse and Im glad I made the right decision to come to RehabSelect Shelby Ridge. Ive been here for one month and have had the best of care. The Nurses and CNAS have gone beyond the call of duty. If I ever have to Rehabilitate ever again it will certainly happen at Shelby Ridge. Thank you for all that you do keep up the good work.
Only giving this a one star because it wont allow me to give them none My father was at this facility for 24 hours and he is now in the emergency department for there lack of care They never cleaned his wound what he was in there for and they failed to give him medication that he needed. My advice to you is to avoid this place at all cost. They do not care about your loved one To make matters even worse their own health care provider even said they would not even send their dying dog there please do your loved one and favor and avoid this place.
I had a family member placed in this facility. The workers are LAZY. They took 5 12 hours to get resident from geriatric chair to bed. An imprpoer transfer was done..luckily no one was hurt. They came in to clean up resident left them un covered and covers wadded up on floor. Food is bad. Pt ot..must have been the flunkies in their class.
Dont put your loved one here unless you want them to die. My grandmother went there to recover after hip surgery and did not leave alive. She asked for over 45 minutes for someone to help her to the bathroom and no one came. Instead of peeing her pants she decided to go herself. She fell of course and hit her head severely. Instead of the incompetent caregiver calling the ambulance she just put her back in bed for her brain to swell and kill her. It wasnt until shift change the next morning that they found her unresponsive and decided MAYBE they should FINALLY do something. These pathetic disgusting people killed one of the most important people to me and do not care one little bit
My mother was transferred from Shelby hospital with pneumonia for rehab to walk again. She has been in Shelby ridge for 6 days with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING being taken care of except her meds which may not be right and shots for diabetes. Her diabetes has run as high or more than 380 She has Not had a bath until today when I consulted management. She has had 1 time of therapy Yall are doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for her.I overheard other family members complaining as well. Im EXTREMELY saddened by the care my mom has received. HOPEFULLY SHE WILL BE OUT BY WEDNESDAYIf people dont want their job they need to leave. She is only a paycheck to your employees.I recommend you dress in street clothing and walk through and do inventory yourself. You will be amazedMy mom laid in bed all day without someone getting her out of bed. She wets on herself and gets UTI frequently. Please check the facility out for yourself.Thank you and be blessedKerri Goglen
Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
- responding to questions
- starting or ending conversation
- changing conversation topics
- using gestures like pointing
- understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
- Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
- Forming speech in a clearer way
- Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
- Understanding and responding to questions
- Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
- Noticing and understanding body language
- Feeding and swallowing
- Stuttering
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
- Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
- Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
- Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
- Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
Here are a few things you will want to discuss with a potential respite worker: (Keep in mind that the most important step is to observe how the respite worker interacts with your child and your family.)
- Do they have work experience with children with autism?
- How will the respite worker support your child in a group setting?
- Do they have concerns about taking this job?
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
- There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
- You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
- Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
- Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
