Do not take your loved ones here. This place has mindblowingly negligent staff CNA nurses and admin. Had to go personally go at 8pm to get them to send mine to the hospital where they got admitted to ICU but the staff was saying they were monitoring my family member would have probably died. The hospital case worker advised she would help us find a new center as they way my loved one came in meant they were not safe under their care at all. This place should be closed down.

A friend of mine was put in this horrible place because she passed out when trying to lift her husband of 130 lbs. back to his bed. He had fallen. She has heart problems and collapsed herself. She was moved to Banner Boswell from the hospital who was treating her for a broken neck. After several weeks in this horrible place she tried several times to be released. Every time she was told she could leave they would renege on her release. Out of desperation she asked me what she should do if refused again. I told her to call 911. My friend was so drugged up from there she couldnt remember how to dial emergency so she called me. I called the sheriffs department that covered that area and guess what. She was released from Banner Boswell. These people cared nothing about my friend. They just wanted to drain her dry for money. Her husband was dying and she needed to get home. Now she is feeling great and relieved to be out from this nightmare place. Her husband passed away 2 weeks after she returned home.

Within 2hrs of being admitted I was called to take my wife to the hospital due to a fall and cut on her forehead.When she was admitted it was noted that she was a fall risk and needed to be watched as she was at Banner Thunderbird.The night nurse which had just started her shift said that it was noted in her chart that she was a fall risk and needed to be watched but they were short of help so nobody was taking care of her.This place is a poor excuse for a care facility let alone a skilled nursing hospital.The administer just tried to dodge any questions about the situation and refused my request for a incident report about the incident.I would not send any one that I cared about to this facility.

I wouldnt take my dog to this place. They use temp nurses. Went to see my wife and her closet smelled like someone had urinated in it. One outfit was in a plastic bag the other was just thrown in it. Nurse apologized and cleaned it. They lost her glasses and one outfit when I finally got her out of there.

Have had a few experiences here with family members and all have been top notch. Facility provides excellent service from the staff and the nurses are wonderful. The food options are pretty good for a hospital food. They are also very encouraging to the family members and the social workers really do a good job and truly care about the patients.

My father was admitted here and stayed for a week after having surgery at Boswell hospital. Every day he was there he would call upset. He had been in the hospital for a leg infection and was weak and needed assistance each time he had to use the bathroom. So he would page the nurse when he needed help but every time it would take anywhere from 30min to an hour for someone to acknowledge him. Everyday he was there he urinated on himself and the bed 2-3 times a day There is no excuse for this And then when he would let them know that he couldnt wait any longer and urinated himself they would make derogatory comments to him about how many times he had gone to the bathroom in an hour. Or how he needed to learn how to hold it betterThe only staff member that I met or talked to that was cordial to me or my dad was the woman that called to let me know when my father would be discharged. The nurses I met that took care of him were very cold and uncaring and handled him roughly. When he would be given his meals they would tell him You have to eat When I come back I want to see your food gone You understand There was no reason for them to talk down to him as if he was a child They acted as though he was a bother anytime he spoke to them. Absolutely awful facility If they hate their jobs so much they need to find another profession Would NEVER recommend or use this facility again

I would not recommend putting a loved one at this facility. My mom went in with a knee problem and ended up in the emergency room with sepsis which killed her. The attention she received there was unacceptable. There were a couple of caring employees but to most it was just a job. My sister and I were with her most all day and in the evening we had to instigate most of the care she received. There were long periods of wait time for responses to calls or we had to go get them. There are other choices out there I am so sorry we made this one.

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.
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.
