When Kevin arrived at Kindred Hospitals Greensboro, he was in critical condition with severely reduced respiratory function caused by pneumonia. He required high-flow oxygen support and was unable to stand or walk because of shortness of breath and significant weakness. He also needed moderate assistance with all of his daily activities.

Despite these challenges, Kevin remained remarkably positive throughout his stay. He was known for his upbeat attitude, friendly personality, and encouraging words to both staff and fellow patients. Living at home with his wife before his illness, he was determined to regain his independence and return to the life he loved.

An interdisciplinary care team, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy; respiratory therapy; and physician care, developed a personalized rehabilitation plan to meet his needs. At first, his therapy sessions were limited because it was difficult for him to maintain his oxygen levels. But as his respiratory condition improved, he was able to participate more actively in therapy. With determination and support from his care team, Kevin made steady, impressive progress.

By the end of his stay, he had been successfully weaned from high-flow oxygen to room air. Functionally, he regained the ability to walk on his own and complete daily activities like dressing, bathing, and toileting with modified independence.

Kevin’s recovery is a testament to his determination, positive outlook, and the coordinated efforts of his care team. He was discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation facility to continue his recovery, and his goal of returning home to his wife is now well within reach.

Helen, 74, is a retired nurse who has navigated her disability with grace for more than a decade. Though she never envisioned having children of her own, she has poured her heart into her beloved nieces and nephews, surrounding them with love and care. A passionate gardener, Helen’s green thumb has brought beautiful blooms to life year after year. She is excited to be moving closer to her hometown, where she’ll be surrounded by family, friends, and the garden she treasures.

Helen began experiencing persistent weakness for more than six months. She was admitted to the hospital several times during this period, treated, and then released, believing her symptoms were related to her kidney failure. Her kidney disease had led to a transplant and ultimately to her disability. She maintained regular doctor visits and dialysis treatments three times a week. Eventually, her condition worsened—Helen was found unconscious on the bathroom floor and transported to UNC Hospital by ambulance.

When she was admitted to UNC Hospital, Helen could only speak one or two words. Overnight, her condition declined further, and she was no longer able to follow commands. Tests revealed hypoxia, hypercapnia, and increased work of breathing, requiring intubation to protect her airway. Her medical team adjusted her medications due to concerns about cefepime toxicity and possible meningitis, given her immunosuppressed state. After she was unable to wean off the ventilator, Helen was transferred to Kindred Hospital for continued care and recovery.

At Kindred, Helen required ventilator weaning and dialysis. Her care involved close collaboration among all disciplines, including nursing, respiratory therapy, pulmonology, ENT, nephrology, physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, hospital medicine, pharmacy, lab services, and case management. Together, the team developed a comprehensive care plan to support her recovery.

With access to the hospital’s rehabilitation gym, Helen began regaining her strength. She progressed from requiring assistance with movement to standing and even feeding herself again. The respiratory team guided and encouraged her through capping trials, ultimately leading to successful decannulation. With the support and trust she placed in her care team, Helen recovered and was able to be discharged closer to her family, friends, and the garden she loves.
