This month, we recognize Dysphagia and Aphasia Awareness Month and the life-changing impact of speech-language pathology.

For individuals living with aphasia, finding the right words can become a daily challenge. For those with dysphagia, something as routine as eating and drinking can require specialized care and support.

Our Speech-Language Pathologists help patients regain communication, improve swallowing safety, and rebuild confidence in everyday moments that matter most. Through expertise, compassion, and personalized care, they help people reconnect with their voices, their independence, and the activities they love.

Join us in raising awareness and celebrating the SLPs who make these meaningful connections possible every day.

We believe everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, respected, and empowered to be their authentic self.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the diversity of our employees, patients, residents, and communities. We recognize that inclusion isn’t just a value we talk about, it’s something we strive to create every day through compassion, respect, and meaningful connections.

Together, we build stronger teams, better patient experiences, and communities where everyone belongs. 🌈

Happy Pride Month from all of us at Powerback.

At Paul’s Run Retirement Community, Assem’s recovery journey has been nothing short of inspiring 💙

After arriving at skilled nursing care in March following a proximal humerus fracture, Assem faced significant challenges with mobility, balance, and everyday activities. Tasks like dressing, toileting, bathing, and walking required extensive assistance, and he was unable to use his left arm during daily activities.

But through determination, consistency, and months of dedicated PT and OT, Assem continued showing up every day ready to work toward his goals. Today, he has regained use of his left arm, increased his independence with self-care tasks, and progressed from walking just 10 feet with a cane and moderate assistance to walking 200 feet with a rolling walker and improved stability.

“I feel strong and I can finally move my hand now. I feel like I’m becoming normal because my hand couldn’t even do anything.”

Assem’s motivation and positive attitude continue to inspire both patients and therapists alike as he prepares for discharge home. 👏

It’s National Senior Health & Fitness Day 💪🌿

Staying active can start with small, simple habits that make a big impact over time. Travis Nowlin, PT, DPT, and DOR at The Chamberlain, shared a few helpful tips to support healthy aging and everyday wellness. Start before your feet hit the floor -- a few simple stretches in bed can ease morning stiffness. Build in standing breaks throughout your day during commercials, between tasks, or walking the halls. And when the weather invites it, trade the screen for a stroll. A lap around the mall or time in the garden counts as real movement -- and it's easier to stick with when it's something you enjoy!

At Powerback, we’re passionate about helping older adults build strength, maintain independence, and continue doing the things they love most.

What’s your favorite way to stay active? ⬇️

This National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, we’re celebrating Susan Peragine, MS, CCC - SLP, from LaFollette, TN 💙

Susan joined Cumberland Village in 2022 after moving from Las Vegas to East Tennessee to be closer to family. While she now works full-time in a school setting, she continues supporting Cumberland Village PRN because of the connections she’s built with residents and the therapy team.

Susan loves working with both adults and children and is currently mentoring a new graduate clinician at the facility. Her certification in Vital Stimulation brings added expertise and compassionate care to the residents she serves every day.

Outside of work, Susan is a hockey fan, coffee lover, and enjoys camping, baking, and shopping. Life at home is always busy with two dogs, six cats, and eight chickens!

Thank you, Susan, for the dedication, positivity, and care you bring to your patients and team each day!
