Mr. Herold Hemphill was admitted to Signature of Marietta’s ExceleratedCARE unit on 12/4/13 after having a total knee replacement. He presented with decreased strength and range of motion, increased pain and an increased need for assistance from staff.
Within 24 hours, an individualized treatment plan was created which included therapeutic exercises and activities, gait training, modality applications and patient/caregiver training. Mr. Hemphill made tremendous progress and within a week was able to walk from five feet to 75 feet, greatly surpassing his original goal of 25 feet. When asked about his experience, he said, “I love the staff here. The nurses and nursing assistants are right on top of things, and the rehab department is second to none.”
Mr. Caudall is a 72-year-old male admitted from an acute-care hospital. During his hospital stay, Mr. Caudall experienced a severe decline in his functional mobility due to muscle weakness, impaired balance and inability to ambulate.
Prior to the hospital stay, Mr. Caudall was living at home independently. He was capable of driving and handling basic daily errands. Mr. Caudall was referred to Signature HealthCARE of Marietta’s ExceleratedCare Center on 11/27/2013. Mr. Caudall is actively participating in all ‘plan of care’ activities, making good progress towards all short-term and long-term goals.
Because of his progress, we have seen a tremendous improvement in his ability to maintain balance and walk with minimum assistance. Mr. Caudall is making great strides on his road to recovery. Because of his determination, he was chosen as our success story of the week. Congratulations Mr. Caudall!
