Select Specialty Hospital - Tallahassee's Online Review Report Card

My dad became sick unexpectantly out of town. He was hospitalized for over a month and then transferred back home to Select. I can honestly say that the care in Tallahassee was 100% better than the care we had in South Florida. Dr. Huang and Dr. Ford were available to talk to each time I needed and explained exactly what was going on along with addressing any concerns that we had. Everyone involved with daily care such as the nurses, nurse assistants, dieticians, housekeeping, front desk, and respiratory therapist were friendly, helpful, and never batted an eye when asked to come help with anything. George, the wound care nurse, was extremely knowledgeable and also kept us up to date on what was happening and what we could do to help with wound healing. Bryan from radiology was so friendly and was nice when we needed a break and to talk about other things instead of " medical stuff'. Debbie from case management went out of her way to make sure our stay and our transfer to the next facility went well. She helped to make sure that my father's next level of care was exactly what he needed. Last but definitely not least was the therapy department. Meghan, Dani, and Lisa were phenomenal. Not only did they help my dad move in and out of the bed for the first time in a month, but they also truly seemed to care about how he was doing both physically and mentally. They took the time each time they worked with him to talk with him, encourage him, and help him see how little improvements would add up. I honeslty can say that the extra patience and motivation made a huge difference in his frame of mind. Thank you to everyone at select for helping my dad get back to himself.

I arrived at Select on Oct. 15, and from that day I have never been treated with such love and dignity. It's becomes a very humbling when you can't do the daily things you are used to doing but the staff never make you feel shame. All of my nurses and CNA'S (Q) I truly love. She takes care of me like I was a part of her family. Also a shout out to my Physical Therapy tag team Loren and Lisa. They make me feel confident even when I have no confidence in myself. The Respitory team is phenomenal. I don't have one bad thing to say about the treatment or the staff. Lastly Dr.Hash is awesome. He comes like clock work everyday even the weekend to check on me. I couldn't have wished for a better place to recover.

Awesome staff.

My dad was transferred to Select Specialty Hospital from Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in early August. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because the care he received while there was amazing. The staff members were highly skilled and very professional. Everyone was friendly and made sure to check to make sure we, the family, were okay while visiting. They took Covid precautions, and I felt very safe while visiting. When my dad was still in isolation, Select has large windows so family can visit and see their loved ones. The care my dad received was great! My dad made friends with most of the staff even if they weren't his direct care staff. When we left the facility to go home everyone came to say their goodbyes to him. They were all so encouraging. I was amazed how many people came to say goodbye, but we felt that everyone cared about his progress, even the cook, admin staff and housekeepers. He was able to walk out of the facility because he didn't want to be pushed out in a wheelchair. The facility was VERY clean, and the outside was well maintained too. While my dad was a patient there, we really felt like Select was our extra family. Select Specialty Hospital is many steps above any hospital I have ever had any experience with. I always recommend Select Specialty Hospital to anyone I know.

On August 30,2021 my dad Donald M. Sasser passed away. I can't thank the staff members enough for all they did to make his stay there a good one. There was a little confusion at first when I would call out there and check on him. But, when I realize that the situation of how well they take care of their patients, it became clear that they don't have time to answer every single phone call. They are caring for your loved one and will call back Asap. When my dad was passing away the staff tending to him had so much compassion. He was well taken care of and they allowed his loved ones to be by his bedside as he passed away. Thank you, Select Specialty Hospital for the great care administered to my father. Forever Grateful!

Select Specialty Hospital is truly a SELECT and SPECIAL Hospital. My brother Allen suffered a brain stem bleed that left him on a ventilator and trach 8 months ago. He was taken to TGH, placed on life support and moved to SSH in June. TGH was very good but I am truly amazed with his care and progress at SSH. He's now weaned from the vent, sitting up in a chair, making audible noises AND smiling! I shed tears when I clearly heard him call me UGLY in response to my "encouragement" (?). This all came after calls in April and May that he would not survive the night. The entire SSH staff is commended for a JOB WELL DONE but I must give an extra shout out for Nurse Stephanie Jackson for her support and communication throughout his stay. Through sincere and fervent prayer and God's blessings, I hope to have my brother back BRAND NEW and I thank God for Select Specialty Hospital! You guys are FANTASTIC!!!

Stayed here during Covid recovery for 6 weeks. Staff was always courteous and helpful. Food is good. Facility is kept clean. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during a very difficult time. Would highly recommend!

In general this long term acute care hospital serves it's role well, and provides a much needed service to our community. As is a main issue with all nursing i have encountered, their nurse to patient ratio is not ideal, which prevents the kind of nursing care that patients and nurses alike feel is necessary. My father has been in this facility for weeks, and we have grown to love the caring and skilled staff. The facility physically serves its purpose. There is a paved trail that wraps the entirety of the building which is a refreshing and beautiful outing for the patient and/or family that need some fresh air and beautiful views. I will say the shortage of recliners isn't fair for the patients, staff, or family. But, the staff do whatever is in their ability to care well for the patient and get what they need. The nurse supervisor on duty is eessy to access and always goes above and beyond to solve and prevent any dissatisfsction. If you have shot records you can bring your loved one their dog to visit, which truly lifted my father's spirits! Physical therapy is not as present/active on the weekend, which has been inconvenient, as my father has felt he has had setbacks on the weekends due to this. Overall, we appreciate this facility and suggest that they decrease the nurse to patient ratio in hopes of improving patient outcomes as well as increasing staff satisfaction and retention. Thank you Select for everything!

Select is one of Tallahassee’s best kept secrets. It’s a hospital that prides itself on achieving outcomes, focusing on teamwork, and listening to the patient. I had the privilege of being a part of the rehab team for almost 3 years. I have worked in many settings and facilities and Select by far has the proper equipment needed to safely mobilize patients of all sizes and complexities while focusing on the true functional needs of the patient. This is a facility that values each other and is able to come together to work for the greater good of the patient. I would trust my family’s care to the talented medical team at Select Specialty Hospital of Tallahassee in a heartbeat. I truly look forward to the day when I live in a location that has a Select so I can join the team again. Thank you all for being so dedicated to your profession!
