My doctor recommended Harmony Cedar Rapids for rehabilitation. I am glad I went there because their therapy helped me focus on my strength and balance to allow me to return home. Being a younger person at Harmony made me realize I needed to work hard to stay healthy, and it was a great journey. I can now do a lot of things out in the community. I am happy therapy motivated me to recover my strength. Everyone at Harmony was excellent and made my stay enjoyable. It is truly a great place for care and rehabilitation.

I needed rehabilitation after a fall, and Harmony Cedar Rapids was the closest option to my dialysis care. My experience at the facility was remarkable! The staff members, especially the nurses, played a pivotal role in making my stay memorable. They were friendly and made me feel like I was with my family. They encouraged and provided positive reinforcement as I achieved my rehabilitation goals, which boosted my confidence. They equipped me with tools and exercises that helped me regain my strength and independence. I was initially scared to go home without help, but they gave me the confidence to live independently. I looked forward to each day, knowing that if I needed assistance, they were there to support me. Their positive feedback and friendliness were exceptional, and I highly recommend Harmony Cedar Rapids to friends and family based on my positive experience!

After a prolonged hospital stay led to muscle atrophy, my brother James needed a place that offered both physical and occupational therapy to help him regain his strength. A friend recommended Harmony Cedar Rapids, and it was the right choice. James was stubborn about his rehabilitation, but the staff at Harmony didn’t give up on him. Nurses like Melanie and Trisha went out of their way to make him comfortable. Lisa, his occupational therapist, was particularly resourceful. She found ways around his limitations due to a previous stroke that affected his right hand and leg. She adjusted his therapy tools and even got him to use an exercise bike successfully. I recommend Harmony Cedar Rapids without hesitation. The staff’s dedication and care were evident, and their kindness and empathy made a significant impact during a difficult time. They’re not just doing a job; they genuinely care.
