Select Specialty Hospital (Nashville, TN)

The hospital was the cleanest I have ever been in. The whole hospital worked harmoniously as a team. General attitude of positivity, which is very important to me for my rehab. I found that response time was very quick to call lights, which is usually difficult in the hospital setting. But everyone works together to address the needs of the patients. I had a great response from the department heads to address any concerns I had and my concerns were resolved immediately. The rehab department has really helped me to get back on my feet. I couldn't stand up when I got here and now I am so much stronger and able to get on and off the commode and get a wheelchair. The therapist are very encouraging and motivating.

My niece was moved to Select Specialty after spending 2 weeks in ICU from being in a automobile accident that unfortunately took the life of her best friend. She spent a month at this hospital & my family couldn’t have been more blessed by the care she received. We especially appreciate certain staff members that cared for her, Nurse Kennon by far went above & beyond the call of duty! Cannot express in mere words the gratitude in our hearts for his Professionalism, competency, empathy, commitment & genuine care for our niece. Many times even if my niece wasn’t on his schedule for the day if he saw me in the hallway he didn’t hesitate to ask what he could do for me or my niece & always made a point to stop by & say hello! PT Katie & OT Sarah both deserves five star ratings! These 2 dynamic ladies made sure my niece received nothing but the BEST! It was truly remarkable to see my niece’s recovery each day! We were amazed to see improvements in her becoming more independent & quickly regaining her vigor! What a gift to actually see her smile again! Both of these girl’s gave her such lovely personable care & cheered her on to move ahead. Our family will forever be thankful for the Medical Staff, Dr. Benjamin A Ferrell & his Staff and even housekeeping, “Rosita” for making a difference in not only our niece’s life, but our as well!

I have a family member in this place as I write this , I have to say that this place is the only hospital around that will accept patients on a ventilator.that leaves nowhere else. When a doctor orders a particular medicine or treatment some of the nurses dont make sure its done because it makes there job a little easier. Of course a sick person is not going to want some of it but the nurses just say ok and are very uncaring if the patient does well or not . The little pow wow they have where doctors and nurses all are to get on the same page with the patient care is unable to answer many questions and dont know anything about the speech therapists or therapy progress . The patient is not heard if they ask this bunch any questions . As a matter of fact patients are treated as if they dont comprehend therefore have no say . I'm sorry my loved one has to endure that and is now depressed and wanting to give up . You people are not empathetic and everytime there is a problem it's the same excuse WE ARE UNDERSTAFFED, sorry but that's the hospital bringing more people in they can't take care of . Will my loved one get discounted when the hospital bill comes because of the mediocre care . No . But what they will get is to suffer while a few good nurses are doing the lazy ones work. This isn't the same hospital it's a greedy corporation with too many chiefs and not enough indians. My loved one deserves the top of the line care he's paying top of the line medical bills for . No I'm not calling your number so you can mistreat my family member because I set you out with truth!

My mother's health has declined since being here. She looks lifeless and is mostly unresponsive when we visit She wasn't like this when she first moved here. She's not being turned every 1-2 hours for her stage 3 pressure ulcer. I've walked in a couple of times to find no sheet or cover on her, but crumpled up underneath her. Her gown half way off and the temperature of her room on 60°F, while it's 30°F outside. She got pneumonia after that. The nurse reports are different from what we see. We're told she had a great day and she got up an did therapy by one nurse, only to be told a different story when we are there in person. I've had to change her myself because no one came after pressing the call light. Last visit she was back on a vent and still struggling to breathe. I honestly feel like my mother will never leave this place alive if she stays here. Update: My mother, in fact, did not leave this place alive

There isn't a way for me to fully express my gratitude to these folks!! The extremely high level of skilled care shown to my husband, the incredible people working here who care so deeply for their patients, the cleanliness of this entire facility ... it all adds up to a wonderful experience in what is a difficult time of our lives. My 48 year old husband suffered 2 strokes and our journey has been straight uphill - but our stay with these folks at Select has been such a shining light in a terribly dark time. Even the case managers deserve a huge round of applause for their thoughtful and genuine approach to some very hard conversations. Their case managers are so so different from those we've encountered elsewhere - the Select folks actually treated me, as next of kin and caregiver, as a human with my own feelings. How wonderful! Specifically, our lead case manager Julia has been so kind to me I'm tearing up just typing this - thank you, Lady! I believe a lot of this culture comes from leadership- Dr. Tyson is a shining example of that. His open communication and real interest in his patients is as authentic as it is beautiful. If you can, get your loved one here. HERE. You will thank God for these people in this place, I certainly do.

We can not say enough great things about this facility! The staff is truly caring and absolutely amazing. We will start with Dr. Mangialardi, & his NP's - Sara & Jessica who are at your disposal if you need them or have questions anytime day or night. I want to make sure to mention staff members who went above and beyond the call for care for my husband. Speech Therapist Ally, - PT & OT - Sarah, Corinza, John, Kathleen, Mary, Katie, Kelly & Tameka - RT - Adam, Davey, Joe, Christine & Laura RA - Nursing staff Trevor, Arika, Maura, Sam, Amora, Sly, and truly too many to mention. Wound care Grace and Phyllis worked a true miracle on his wound. Trae who comes by to make sure we are cared for, need anything, concerns etc. We are truly grateful for this facility, without them it would have been a different life outcome.

My husband was there 3 weeks I changed his linens took.his vitals walked him the PT and ot was very good the nurses were not a big disgusting nursing home I worked at Baptist for years I know nursing care that was not it that's alright owner you don't have to pretend you care just expressing my opinion

My sister was moved here after 90 days in the ICU for COVID. She is still progressing slowly, but she's getting EXCELLENT care and hopefully will be home soon! Her PT and OT Theripist's are awesome as are the doctors and nurses. The facility is clean and the whole staff has been great! They especially love when I bring her "baby" Kona her Great Dane to visit! It's her best therapy!! God Bless everyone who is taking care of her!!

Physical therapy was great! Occupational therapy was great! Respiratory was fantastic on working I. Getting me off the ventilator! As soon as I started coming to I should of had Speech therapy it was offered at this place but they never once offered it to me. I got speech therapy after I left there. I had to figure that all out on my own which was very wrong and stressful. The wound care team was AFOUL!!!! I came in with a bedsore and they let it get worse! To the point it was un stageable! I’m very lucky to have it heal up as much as it has. It kept me in so much pain and it seemed like some of these nurses here did not understand that sitting in a cardiac chair as they called it hurt me so bad that I was in tears and in so much pain and would leave me there in pain in that chair for hours it felt like. As someone with a severe brain injury you’d think they would understand I didn’t need to get upset terribly bad. This place is great for respatory and physical therapy and occupational therapy. I give a good shout to the few good nurses who took great care of me. Tiffany, Amanda. But otherwise I don’t recommend this place for anyone who has open wounds or bedsores. They will just let it get worse!

Therapy was very very good. It was organized and they functioned as a team. It was creative and there were opportunities to go out of the building to get fresh air. The wound care team was solid. We have had great improvements in my wound while here. We initially thought I would need plastic surgery to heal the wound but I have made such progress here I wont any longer. Nursing was pretty strong but there was a lot of PRN coverage leading to some continuity of care concerns. We did meet a lot of nice travel nurses and overall had a very good experience.
