"Mary Linda Bollman, a 76-year-old resident of Louisville Gardens, has shown remarkable determination and resilience since beginning her journey with us in October 2024. When Mary Linda first arrived, she required the use of a Hoyer lift for all staff-assisted transfers, relying heavily on support for even the most basic mobility tasks.

Over the past month, however, Mary Linda has made extraordinary progress through her dedication to Occupational Therapy. With consistent effort and a positive mindset, she has worked tirelessly to build her strength, improve her endurance, and develop greater safety awareness and confidence in her movements.

Today, Mary Linda has reached an incredible milestone—she is now able to walk 9 feet within parallel bars, a significant achievement that reflects her perseverance and courage. Even more inspiring, she has made progress completing self-care transfers with staff assistance without the use of a Hoyer lift. In addition, Mary Linda can now independently propel her wheelchair throughout the facility, giving her a greater sense of independence and freedom.

Mary Linda’s journey is a true success story and a testament to what can be accomplished with hard work, determination, and the support of a dedicated care team. We are incredibly proud of her progress and inspired by her commitment. We look forward to seeing how Mary Linda continues to grow and achieve even more in the days ahead."

Exciting announcement: we are pleased to share the new Broad River logo!

At first glance, the design brings together the letters B and R, a simple nod to our name. But within those letters, something more meaningful takes shape: a river flowing through the center. This represents the Broad River of North Carolina, where our story began.

Rivers symbolize movement, connection, and progress. That idea reflects who we are as an organization. While therapy remains at the heart of what we do, we have also evolved to deliver tools, technology, and ideas that help our teams and partners succeed.

The river also represents the journey we are on together. It honors our roots while pointing toward the future and the opportunities ahead. At the center of that journey is a simple idea that guides our work every day: Simplify Success. Whether supporting therapists, empowering partners, or improving outcomes for residents, our goal is to remove complexity and help others succeed.

We are grateful for the therapists, partners, and residents who travel this path with us. We look forward to continuing the journey together!

Huge shout-out to Madison Plunk, SLP!

She consistently goes above and beyond for each and every resident she serves. Madison actively involves families in the care process and demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration within the facility and across the therapy team.
Her dedication does not go unnoticed. The therapy teams at Brookridge and The Chateau ALF see firsthand the level of care, professionalism, and compassion she brings every day. Even more importantly, residents frequently express how heard, supported, and validated they feel through the education and guidance she provides to them and their families.
We truly could not ask for a better team member. Thank you, Madison, for the incredible impact you make!

David Worley, Clinical Coordinator of Care and Christian Assisted Living hosted a "Singo" Valentine's Day Party for the residents!

On Friday, February 13th, the Rehab Department of Kirby Pines catered to three beautiful married couples who reside in the Villa (Assisted Living). This was a fine dining experience from beginning to end. From being escorted to their tables while the love jazz music played in the background, to a lovely poem which spoke to each individual and couple, to a romantic meal, flowers given, cards read, and more fond memories made.

In their words: "We felt so special today." "We thank you all for showering us with love on today." "I believe this was the best event we have had."

Each of these touched our hearts and we are truly ready to continue serving them as they continue making lasting memories.

Heart health is functional health. Every transfer, every walk, every repetition supports not just mobility--but the heart too!
