Jim Martin: Fine care at rehab hospital

I recently was a patient at the Los Banos Nursing and Rehabilitation facility.

I was in there to receive rehabilitation services. The wonderful people working at this facility made my stay very pleasant. I can't say enough about the care given by the nurses and aides. They go above and beyond for their patients. They were kind and treated all patients with dignity and respect. God bless every one of them.

There were many activities for the residents to take part in on a daily basis. The facility is very clean and smelled good. If something needed fixing, a repairman was there immediately to fix it. Patients have access to first-class equipment, such as wheelchairs and beds, and there were TVs in each room. The food was well-prepared and very tasty.

The therapy was excellent. When I first arrived I could barely stand, and in just a few weeks I was walking and ready to go home.

Los Banos should be very proud that they have a facility like this in town. I have had many hospital stays throughout my life. This facility ranks at the top.

So, Los Banos, get behind this hospital and support it. There are many ways that folks can help out. Just call Tanya, the activities director.
