A Place Called Special Tree
My name is Jasper and I'm a quad and I live at a place called Special Tree. It's a neurological rehab but it looks more like the Ritz Carleton when you come inside. It's a brand new building that was built from the ground up and all the clients moved from the old building to the new. There are paintings on the walls and elaborate clocks and fixtures and sometimes I begin to think that a lot of what was done was done with the clients in mind. Our rooms are bigger, all the beds are new, the grounds are very eye appealing, all the rooms have flat screen TVs. They even put white robes in the bathrooms for the clients. They could have just left it at that, but they also added DVD players. Being a client myself I don't take this building for granted. In my opinion there are a lot of things I see that are designed for the client and I understand they didn't have to do that. They didn't have to put DVD players in the rooms or they didn't have to put so much thought into making this building comfortable. Each room has it's own thermostat. There are a lot of things that I see that are comfortable for us that they didn't have to do. I don't know about you but I'm very happy to be here at Special Tree because I understand there are a lot of places such as this where you're not treated as well, you don't get the patient care that you get here at Special Tree. Sometimes when I get sleepy I get tired of them coming in my room but I understand they're taking blood pressure, rolling me over, checking me. Those are the things that need to be done for a person like me. So I think that Special Tree is a very special place and if you're here as a client or you are a staff member I think you are very fortunate. Just dig a little deeper. This is Jasper and these are my opinions.
