Dwight "Todd" had been experiencing right side weakness, facial droop, and inability to speak when he went to University of Kentucky emergency room for evaluation on December 18, 2024. It was determined that Todd had suffered a severe left basal ganglia stroke.

Once he was medically stable, Todd began his stroke rehabilitation at Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Hospital. His rehabilitation team there felt he would be a good candidate for the Pathways Program at Louisville East Post Acute. He transitioned to Pathways in March of 2025. Todd was assessed by Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy.

At evaluation the physical therapist determined Todd had decreased strength right lower extremity and poor dynamic standing balance. He required maximum assistance to perform sit to stand and was able to ambulate in the parallel bars for 5 feet with minimal assistance.

His Occupational Therapy evaluation indicated he required 50% assistance with grooming and upper body dressing. Lower body ADLs including toileting required 100% assistance. He required 2 people to transfer to the toilet. His right Upper extremity had no strength and no range of motion.

Speech Therapy assessment stated he had little to no ability to verbally communicate. He had moderate cognitive deficits according to cognitive standardized tests. He was nothing by mouth, unable to swallow safely.

Todd began his therapy program at Pathways that also included Recreational Therapy and Neuropsychological Therapy. He attended therapy 5 days a week for at least 3 hours a day or more. Todd with a smile on his face and unfaltering dedication began to progress. Little by little towards his goals of independence.

At discharge from the Pathways program, Todd was walking around the unit with a single point cane unlimited distances and improved his lower extremity strength to perform stair climbing 15 steps.

In Occupational Therapy he was trained in the use of adaptive equipment and compensatory techniques and is now able to perform all of his basic ADLS with modified independence. He is also able to perform household tasks!

Todd no longer has restrictions with swallowing and can consume a regular consistency diet and thin liquids. The speech therapist trained him on the use of a Lingraphica TouchTalk AAC device which assists him to make all of his wants and needs known. He made significant improvements with his cognition, scoring a perfect score on the standardized test indicating cognition within normal limits.

We are so proud of Todd and all of his accomplishments and we will miss his smiling face!

Cheryl arrived at Louisville East Post Acute in November 2025 after falling and sustaining a femur fracture. She was very weak and had poor balance in standing.

Physical Therapy evaluated and discovered she required max assist x 2 for sit to stand. She attempted to walk at eval and was only able to accomplish 2 side steps with max assist x 2.
Cheryl then participated in an Occupational Therapy evaluation. She required a lot of assistance with Activities of Daily Living. She was max assist with lower body dressing, and max assist with toileting tasks. She participated in Modified Barthel Index standardized test that indicates complex deficits in ADLs and likeliness of returning home. She scored a 27/100 indicating “unlikely to return home.” She needed to score above an 85 to reach “likely to be discharged to community living “ for her to return home with family.

Speech therapy assessed and noted some difficulties with thought organization and recall and Cheryl agreed to participate in Speech treatments to improve her cognitive ability in order to improve her safety to return home.
All of the therapists enjoyed working with Cheryl, she was cooperative and pleasant throughout all of the sessions. She continued to focus on improving her recall, attention to tasks, range of motion, strength, endurance, coordination and balance. Eventually all of those were translated into an improvement in her mobility and self-care that helped her reach her goals.

At the end of her therapy, she was able to walk with a 4 wheeled walker modified independent unlimited distance, modified Independence with her toileting and dressing, supervision with bathing and improved her cognitive score by 5 points. The OT assessed the Barthel Index Score and she reached the score above 85- Likely to discharge to the community!

On her last day the PT trained her and her family member on a car transfer. She was able to transfer with modified independence and rode home!

Congratulations Cheryl on all of your success!
