Ms. Washington is making fantastic progress in physical therapy! 💪 Today, she showed increased lower extremity strength and improved aerobic capacity- helping her move more independently throughout the facility for her favorite social activities. 🌟 She tolerated her exercises well, needed fewer cues for posture and safety, and continues to stay motivated and engaged. Her commitment is truly paying off toward greater functional independence! ❤️

Ms. Combs is making steady strides in occupational therapy! 💪 Today, she worked hard on upper extremity strength, fine motor coordination, and ADL task tolerance — needing only minimal cues while showing greater independence with her functional tasks. 🌟 Her motivation and engagement are truly inspiring. And after all that hard work, she treated herself to a well-deserved ice cream cone! 🍦❤️

Pes anserine bursitis is inflammation of the bursa located on the inner side of the knee, just below the joint, where tendons from three thigh muscles attach. It causes localized pain, swelling, and tenderness—especially when climbing stairs, standing from a chair, or walking. In nursing home residents, this condition can worsen mobility, increase fall risk, and discourage participation in therapy or activities due to pain. It may also lead to compensatory movement patterns, which can strain other joints and contribute to further decline in functional independence.

Sweet success for Ms. Brown! 💖 From needing moderate help with self-care to now doing it with just a few gentle reminders-her progress has been nothing short of amazing. 💪✨

Upper motor neurons (UMNs) originate in the brain and carry signals down the spinal cord, while lower motor neurons (LMNs) carry those signals from the spinal cord to the muscles. Damage to UMNs (as seen in strokes or spinal cord injuries) causes muscle stiffness, weakness, and spasticity, often with exaggerated reflexes. LMN damage (as in peripheral neuropathy or ALS) leads to muscle weakness, atrophy, and flaccid paralysis with reduced or absent reflexes. In nursing home residents, UMN disorders may cause contractures and difficulty with mobility, while LMN disorders often lead to muscle wasting, falls, and increased dependence on staff for basic care.

In the nursing home setting, osteoarthritis often limits mobility, making it hard for residents to walk, transfer, or perform daily activities without pain, which can lead to deconditioning and increased fall risk. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, can cause severe joint deformities, chronic pain, and fatigue, often requiring more hands-on assistance with dressing, grooming, and feeding. Both conditions can contribute to depression, social withdrawal, and reduced quality of life, making proper pain management, physical therapy, and adaptive equipment essential parts of care.

In a Skilled Nursing Facility, proper nutrition isn’t just a part of the care plan,it is the care plan. A patient’s diet directly affects their recovery, energy levels, immune function, and overall well-being. For seniors and medically complex individuals, the right diet can mean the difference between healing and hospitalization.

Supporting residents with their Activities of Daily Living. Such as bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, toileting, and mobility is at the core of preserving their dignity, independence, and quality of life. ADLs aren’t just routine tasks they’re essential touchpoints that keep residents connected to their sense of self.
