I could probably write several pages on this but decided to keep this short. This place, the staff and the level of care is terrific. 2 months ago my mother suffered a stroke and ended up in a place that was not suited to her situation. As you know, stroke patients have a limited window of time to regain their physical and cognitive function. Desperate for a better outcome for my mum, I discovered ReGen Rehab Hospital and was able to see a stroke rehab specialist within a few days. We subsequently admitted mum into the hospital, with the primary goal of getting her upright and walking. Throughout our stay, I found the therapists to be very knowledgeable in their respective fields. They treated mum with respect and dignity, while encouraging her to continuously push her boundaries. Overall, I found the hospital to be very well organised. Doctors made their rounds regularly to check on patients and to speak to caregivers, staff appeared to operate in sync, processes ran like clockwork and it felt like everyone was pulling towards the same direction. The facilities are well appointed to provide patients with all the necessary stimulus to succeed. From Day 1, the staff had mum standing and walking with assistance. I saw the light of conviction return to her eyes. The daily rehab was intensive, a la bootcamp as we had opted for 3 sessions per day lasting 1 hour each. Sessions were a mix of physio, occupational and speech therapy. I was with mum almost every step of the way, learning from and shadowing the therapists, on how to continue with mum's care and rehabilitation once she is back home. I am thrilled to report that mum is finally home after 2 weeks of stay. She still has a long way to go in terms of recovery and ambulation, but we achieved our goal of bringing mum back to the familiarity and comfort of her own home, supported and surrounded by her loved ones. Throughout her stay at ReGen Rehab Hospital, Mum worked very hard, and the staff also strived to provide her with every opportunity to succeed. I cannot recommend this facility highly enough. Special shout out to the entire team (Dr. Kavitha, PT Yeoh and PT Gan, OT Shivaani, ST Nadiya as well as the awesome nursing staff too numerous to mention), for enabling my mother, and helping her to reclaim some measure of quality of life that she deserves.

Almost 3 months at ReGen was one of the best experiences in my life. I will tell you why. First, i'd like to thank SOCSO officer Atikah who recommended ReGen as my rehabilitation place for my spinal cord injuries. My gratitude and appreciation to Dr Kavitha, Dr Tan and Dr Afikah who continuously monitor and advised on any matters related to my health and condition. At ReGen, the day starts with Group Theraphy (GT) for PT. I've the chance to meet other patients who are having different kinds of illness and together we do aerobics n exercises based on our capabilities. I'd like to thank the PT therapists involved like Ana (miss to hear her saying 10 more ), Nazrin, Cha, Sean Michael n Miza. They were also assisted by the juniors like Izzati senior, izzati junior n faiz. 2nd GT is at 4pm. It was led by OT therapists like Shivani, Lau and Ming Tze. Here we're exposed to activities like charades, arts, colouring and games to name a few. This session is more relaxing after having physical therapies from morning and evening. Kudos to them for handling fun activities even though a few of us are very bad in arts n colouring. Everyday, for bed ridden patient like me needs an OT theraphy. At ReGen, my beautiful OT therapist, Nik Areena has done a remarkable job. Thank you for your patience in assisting and teaching me how to continue to have a normal life despite my incapabilities. Last but not least, to my favourite PT therapist in the world, Gan. No words can describe how much your dedication and helpfulness mean to me. Your patience and humbleness amazed me. Despite my difficulties and cries (3 times only rite) on doing the given tasks, you never give up on me. From bed ridden to capable to walk without walking aid, i owed so much to you Gan. Furthermore, the 2 hours we spent every day, made me more open to discuss or sharing any difficulties that i have during the physio or other theraphy sessions with you. Thank you also to the manager, Ruby who monitored us from far and will give valuable inputs to the therapists in bringing the best in us. Not to forget all the nurses, CA and RA who took care of me since the first day. To name a few, Anis, Hajar, Cila, Afiqah, Paul, Yong, Fatin Alia, Rathi, Tharshini, Sagu, Darshini. These people treated me like their own mother. Thank you guys. I pray for all the names mentioned above have a blessed lives ahead. I love you guys so much. ReGen definitely brings us back to our normal life like before. Really miss u ReGen. Sincerely, Siti Zubaidah Mohamed
