Spring Mill Meadows Congratulates James Black!

James Black was admitted to Spring Mill Meadows after a 3-week hospital stay related to failed knee replacements and subsequent infection in both knees. He was unable to bear weight on either leg throughout his stay with us due to the removal of both knee joints, but was still able to make good progress in therapy and return home with his family pending further surgical intervention.

During his stay at Spring Mill Meadows, he received physical, occupational and speech therapy interventions to address his goals for strengthening, independence with activities of daily living, and communication. He achieved goals for independence in upper body dressing and grooming, as well as increasing strength in his upper body and improving sitting tolerance. He participated well throughout his stay here and had an excellent attitude towards therapy. He plans to return to Spring Mill Meadows for additional therapy once his knee joints are replaced.

If you know someone who could benefit from the personalized care and rehabilitation plan provided by our Moving Forward Rehabilitation, please contact Katy Hanks at 872-7211.

Riverview Village is pleased to announce their success with Pearlie Miller.

Pearlie Miller came to Riverview Village with a complicated medical history including COPD, TIA, Asthma, GERD, HTN, pelvis and back fractures, anxiety, real atrophy, osteoporosis, dementia, anemia and chronic pain. With a medical list such as this, some people would become discouraged and want to stay in bed all day. Ms. Miller was determined to stay as strong and healthy as possible.

She enjoyed participating in both physical and occupational therapy and was eager to do anything necessary to regain her independence. Therapy focused on education on energy conservation techniques for her COPD, building activity tolerance for home management tasks, and regaining strength lost from inactivity.

Ms. Miller was very high functioning with her self care and could bathe, dress and groom independently. Her main limitation to returning home was her strength and energy level as well as rebuilding confidence she needed to leave Riverview Village to live with her son. With exercise and education on proper body mechanics, Ms. Miller began to regain her strength and activity tolerance. Therapy focused on home management tasks such as cooking, cleaning and doing laundry.

Since Ms. Miller used to be an employed as a cook, a natural therapeutic activity was for her to do baking. She organized, planned and shopped for her Italian Cream Cake cooking activity with excitement.

“The pride she experienced with making her Italian Cream Cake was priceless" ~Riverview Village - Physical Therapist~

Riverview Village is pleased to announce their success with Margarite Baker.

Ms. Baker is a 54-year-old who came to Riverview Village for rehabilitation following a recent hospitalization and decline in self-care skills. She has a history of Atria fib, pleural effusion, thrombocytopenia, hypothyroidism, chest pain, splenomegaly, asthma, DJD, OA, HTM, COPD, diabetes, diverticulitis, CHF, and cholecystectomy. Ms. Baker wanted to return to an assisted living facility after her rehabilitation. She needed assistance with her self-care and home management tasks to do this.

Ms. Baker’s main limitation to her independence was her activity tolerance, back pain and energy conservation. Her treatment began with education on joint protection techniques, energy conservation techniques, and with the construction of a customized low back stretching and strengthening exercise program. Mr. Baker learned this new information very quickly and was eager to apply her new knowledge.

Occupational therapy focused on home management tasks such as laundry, cleaning, cooking, kitchen tasks and sewing. Ms. Baker helped to collaborate with skilled therapy to set her own goals and then worked hard to achieve them. In the end, Ms. Baker met all her goals and was independent with home management tasks, community mobility, problem solving, all self care tasks and had good activity to participate in her daily activities.

“I have received real good care at Riverview Village. I really liked going to therapy and feel so much better!” ~Margarite Baker~

Congratulations Hattie Coffel!

Hattie Coffel broke both of her legs in a car accident, and was burdened with the news that it would not be safe for her to walk again. Hattie selected Rosewalk Village of Lafayette for physical and occupational therapy. Rather than feeling sad or angry about her situation, Hattie looked at her circumstances as “just another learning experience”.

During her stay at Rosewalk Village of Lafayette, Hattie was never in her room for very long. She participated in all activities, made many new friends with residents and staff members and worked very, very hard in the therapy gym. Hattie learned how to transfer herself from her wheelchair to bed, into a car, and so on. Her wonderful attitude and strong will allowed her to return home quickly.

Today, Hattie is taking driving lessons, goes to church every Sunday and visits her friends at Rosewalk Village of Lafayette at least twice per month. She is still very hard to catch at home! In asking Hattie to describe the key to her success, she said, “It just takes patience and the right attitude.” Hattie is living proof that you can do whatever you set your mind to.

“I knew that God was with me all the way. He gave me so many kind people to take care of me, I can’t say enough good things about them!” ~Hattie Coffel~
