I chose Arbors at Marietta because it is very convenient to home, has a well-respected staff, and has very high cleanliness and professionalism! Dan from the Speech Therapy Department, Jamie and Barry from the Respiratory Department, and the Restorative Therapy Department all stood out to me!

If you are affected by a chronic lung problems, our current hot and humid weather conditions can prove challenging for your breathing. While it’s impossible for you to change the weather, there are a few tips that might make your breathing a little easier!

1. Know what triggers make it hard for you to breathe and avoid them

Temperature changes are not the only thing that can make it difficult for you to catch your breath. Environmental triggers can make breathing in hot, muggy weather even worse. Some things you may encounter every day that can make you short of breath include:

· Fumes from things like paint or cleaning products
· Pesticides and Insecticides
· Mold and Mildew, which can seem worse when you’re staying inside to avoid the hot and humid weather.
· Dust and pet dander
· Smoke from things like campfires or secondhand smoke

2. Speaking of smoke……

If you smoke, stop. If you don’t think you can on your own, speak to your doctor about getting help. There are lots of ways to quit, one of them is right for you.

3. Learn to live a healthier lifestyle

Breathing affects everything you do and everything you do affects your breathing. Some changes you might make to help your overall health, and your breathing include

· Watch your diet.
· Watch your stress levels
· Exercise. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any exercise program

While none of these things will change the 90 degree days or the 90% humidity, they can help you breathe better when the weather is miserable. Take care of yourself!

I chose Arbors at Marietta for my loved one because they have good respiratory therapists–especially Jamie. She seemed to pay close attention and really explained things to me. Everyone works hard and aides are nice!

I chose Arbors at Marietta for myself and had great care! My needs were taken care of and all nurses did a wonderful job

Grew up in Wash. co Ohio in Layman Ohio. He has 3 kids – 2 girls and 1 boy. He worked on the farm most of his life and at BF Goodrich. I live in Arbors, I like it here.

When I came in, I couldn’t use my left hand or leg, but after leaving the building, now I’m using both!

All of the aids, LPNs, RNs, therapists, social workers, and even the cleaning ladies have [all] been magnificent. Suzanne from PT was excellent. She brought me snacks and coffee, made sure that I worked hard on my exercises, and gave me rest when I needed it.

The aids would bring me more meals if I was still hungry and help me straighten my bed. I could press the buzzer in the middle of the night and they would come and help me quickly. Everyone has made me feel very comfortable.

Jennifer, the RN brought me snacks too when there weren’t any available.

Thank You to all!

I just want to tell you I have the best team I’ve ever had during my stay. I have had them a couple of times and theses two girls, Stephanie and Anna, give more than 10 star services. Those two are right in top of everything and make you feel at home. I have not had to ask for anything, they are ready before I have to even think about it being done. Anna came in the second day with two cups of coffee. She remembered and I didn’t have to ask for a second cup. Stephanie had stuff ready for my knees exercise without me even asking. Those two are the best, wish you had about 20 more. Thank You for your time and the hiring of these two wonderful people.

I was told I needed knee surgery and I didn’t know how I was going to get along because I lived by myself. I heard about the Arbors at Marietta and their private short term rehab suites. The therapy and staff were wonderful and got me back on my feet. I got along so well that I had surgery on the other knee a year later and went back for rehab at the Arbors. I have recommended Arbors to my family and friends. I would like to say thanks to them for being there when I needed them the most.

I went to the Arbors for therapy after my hospital stay. The care and attention I received was excellent. The staff was loving, caring and very attentive to my needs. I recommend the Arbors to anyone who needs rehab.

I came to Arbors at Marietta for Rehabilitation after I had my knee replacement. The physical therapy and nursing that was offered to me was great. I’m planning to have another surgery this fall, and I plan to come back to Arbors at Marietta for Rehabilitation.
