π¬ "I have had therapy at lots of other places, but this is the best I have ever had anywhere!" β Ms. Ella Jean.
π Ms. Ella Jean was admitted to Ridgeview Terrace in February of 2026 after having surgery related to a compression fracture in her spine. She needed full assistance with daily activities such as walking, bed mobility, bathing, and dressing. Ms. Ella Jean also had difficulty chewing and swallowing certain foods.
β Physical, occupational, and speech therapies were started, and Ms. Ella Jean worked hard on strengthening, balance, transfers, and gait. She learned strategies for becoming more independent with self-care tasks and safely eating a regular diet. After completing her program, Ms. Ella Jean regained her strength and ability to be more independent. π
π¨οΈ "Ms. Ella Jean was always motivated to get better," said Teresa Knisley, PT. "She was willing to try anything we challenged her with."
π‘ Ms. Ella Jean was able to return to her independent assisted living apartment in March! She is now able to walk using a walker, and only requires supervision with higher level mobility and self-care tasks. Congratulations, Ms. Ella Jean, on your successful rehab stay at Ridgeview Terrace! β€οΈ
