  • When I first started coming to Legacy Rehabilitation I had severe neck and shoulder pain. It was affecting my day-to-day activities, my recreational activities, and my social life. I couldn't stand being in my wheelchair for more than a few hours and wasn’t sleeping well. I decided to come for therapy and after a few sessions I noticed a drastic change in my body. They worked with me to target where the pain was coming from and adjusted my therapy as needed. I haven't felt this good in a long time and can live my life without severe pain. It's all thanks to the awesome staff at Legacy Rehab. I am grateful to have them in the community and am excited for what's to come.

  • The Legacy Team has been such an incredible part of my recovery journey, and I am so grateful for the role they have, and continue to play in reaching my goals (and creating new ones!) A rare gift, the Legacy Team is exceptionally skilled in their rehabilitative approach, recognizing the needs of the whole person- not only the particular physical or cognitive challenge being presented. This team has also gone above and beyond to educate themselves when faced with an unfamiliar challenge. They are consistently client-centered, which is remarkable at empowering clients along their rehab journey. Beyond skill, the empathy, compassion and ability to problem solve fosters and engages momentum in clients and creates a sense of encouragement even during plateaus or perceived setbacks. The staffs' ability to make the mundane interesting and fun has a profound impact on the effectiveness of treatment (and as a bonus, the laughter is great for core training!) The Legacy Team has helped restore function in my body, and has also been pivotal in holding space for my mind and soul to find healing. Though I began as a client, coming in each week feels much more like visiting old friends- friends who see, value and offer you the dignity of presence. Central Alberta is incredibly fortunate to have such an excellent team and facility!

  • My brother had a major stroke March 2020, followed by a 6 mth stay at Halvar Jonson Centre - Inpatient Rehab in Ponoka, AB. This facility is known for their outstanding work in the areas of brain injury, stroke, and spinal injuries. We have a cottage at Gull Lake, Alberta where we normally spend our summers. We continued his care from the cottage. I thought it would be a great place for my brother’s rehabilitation due to the peacefulness and being out of the city; however, my biggest concern was finding a facility nearby to address his needs. After calling around and explaining his diagnosis and needs, they referred me to Legacy Rehabilitation in Lacombe, Alberta. Upon the first visit to the facility, I was amazed at the equipment they had, it reminded me of Halvar Jonson Centre. Legacy Rehabilitation has far exceeded our expectations. The staff are all very caring, knowledgeable and take pride in their work. My brother has been attending Legacy Rehabilitation for the past 8 months. He has made huge improvements with walking, bending, and depending more on his left side. His confidence at challenging himself to overcome his fears at doing certain tasks outside his comfort zone has changed him both physically and mentally. We had recently seen his neurologist who was amazed at the level of his improvement. The neurologist indicated he does not usually see this type of improvements for individuals dealing with debilitating impairments such as his. Lacombe is certainly blessed to have Legacy Rehabilitation, Ashley Dolman and the level of experienced, caring staff all committed to the needs of others. Great job!!!!
