We are excited to share with you one of our recent rehabilitation success stories! Meet Ms. Eve who worked with our awesome therapy team (she is pictured with Boski, PT, Angelica, OTR, Kristin,PTA and Rachelle, COTA) at River Crossing of Elgin towards increased independence and functional goals. We are proud to share her story and her success!
Eve admitted to River Crossing of Elgin for her third time requiring rehab services. The current admission was due to surgery on her spine. When Eve came to us, she presented with decreased strength, bed mobility skills, activities of daily living and impaired walking. She also had a difficult time applying her back brace. After receiving intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy services, Eve has demonstrated the ability to complete up to 16 stairs, improve her walking skills with the use of a front wheeled walker, is able to transfer independently, and has demonstrated improved cognitive function. Eve has since discharged home to live with her family where she has strong support and enjoys watching her grandchildren grow.
