Doris and George's story

Married couple, Doris and George have been with us for several years. Both have received physical therapy and joined in on our group classes. George has worked with our team to minimize his Parkinson’s symptoms. He heard about HouseFit through a friend and once he tried treatment here, he enjoyed it very much. “They really care for seniors,” He described. “Staff is very kind, sweet, and patient. I would recommend [HouseFit] to anyone.”
​
He received treatment from our Physical Therapist, Tonya. He described her as excellent to work with. George was impressed by the knowledge that Tonya had on Parkinson’s Disease and felt understood. He recalls a time when she showed that she knew treatments for Parkinson’s Disease outside of Physical therapy, such as the different medications taken to help manage symptoms

Doris came to know HouseFit after seeing one of our advertisements in The Call. She looked further into our services and was intrigued by the variety that we offer. An avid exerciser, she wanted to build her strength and stay active. Her and her husband George worked with two of our Physical Therapists. George said, “They don’t come better than Tonya, she was just a joy to work with.” Doris said that the personalities of the Physical Therapists is what made them stand out, “They were both very personable and professional.”

After receiving Physical Therapy, They decided to maintain their progress and take our exercise classes. Doris explains her motivation, “it’s important to do. We were keeping up with what needs to be done. It keeps you moving, which is a good thing.” She has recommended HouseFit to friends seeking out similar services. She highlights the importance of wellness to them. “You have to do the best thing for your body,” She tells them. 

George said he felt better after every visit. During his time at HouseFit, he has made several recommendations to friends. “Everyone I made recommendations to has liked HouseFit,” George notes that the care and patience that staff has is the reason why he can’t recommend HouseFit enough. He said, “They don’t rush you. They‘ll show you how to do everything. If you don’t know how to do something, [staff] will not just tell you what to do but do it with you.” 

Doris highlights HouseFit's friendly environment as one of the main reasons she recommends us and keeps coming back. “The staff here is great,” She said, “Everybody seems to care and makes you feel comfortable.” Doris and George plan to continue going to HouseFit for services well into their future.
