The organization presents a relaxed, professional atmosphere, and the staff members appear confident, dedicated, and very positive about their work environment. The persons served and other stakeholders report being very satisfied with the care and outcomes and believe that personnel listen to, understand and address their concerns. The advocacy efforts of NTPRC are greatly appreciated. The facility has recently had some cosmetic upgrades that ensure that the physical space is safe and attractive. The proximity to Lake Arlington and the organization’s more suburban location allows for pleasant outdoor activities during program time, such as walking around the lake or socializing in the outdoors. The organization provides transportation services that assist the person served to attend this more suburban location and allow for group outings during program time. A very extensive education program is provided to the persons served in the pain rehabilitation program and the occupational rehabilitation programs. The facility at NTPRC has a wide variety of exercise equipment, including strengthening and cardiovascular equipment, work simulation equipment, a pool and an Aquasizer (underwater treadmill). |

Here is a recent sampling of what NTPRC’s patients are saying...

I firmly believe that anyone who has been injured on the job should be referred to NTPRC as soon as possible to avoid extended time off work. This has helped me get back to a normal life. Before I started the pain management classes I didn’t have confidence in anything concerning my life. I felt that I was useless and life wasn’t worth living. Things have drastically changed for me, all for the better. This program has changed my attitude and given me confidence in myself and my future. Wow, what a turnaround! The staff and therapists have been a great help to me. They have helped me realize there is hope and I can be all that I want to be. It helps having someone to listen to your problems. It has also been helpful being with other patients that are experiencing similar problems. If it were not for this program I know that I would not be where I am today. I am out of the valley now and climbing the mountain, one step at a time! I believe most people with injuries like mine should come to a program like this. It has strengthened me and I have been helped by its structure more than any other treatment I have experienced. Everyone working here has excellent knowledge of what they are doing. I would give it an overall rating of 110%. Love it, hate to leave. The program got me out of where I was and kept me focused on where I need to be Keep up the good work and never change. Everyone has been a great help to me. I will never forget any of you. You are like my family and I will miss each of you. |
