For nearly a year, Ascend Rehabilitation speech-language pathologist Lily Egan has been working alongside Beverly, a resident at Oxbow Lake, after a stroke affected Beverly’s ability to communicate clearly.
Together, they’ve practiced conversation strategies, everyday interactions and personalized speech techniques to help Beverly communicate more confidently with the people around her.
Recently, another team member shared that hearing Beverly speak clearly “brought tears to my eyes.”
Moments like these are why speech therapy matters. Small victories can mean everything. Thank you, Lily, for the compassion, patience and expertise you bring to residents each day.
