Evelyn “swing-dances” with orthopedic rehabilitation
Diagnosis: Hip Fracture
Evelyn is a 94-year-old widow living independently at home. She fell while walking between her kitchen and dining room and fractured her hip and right collar bone.
Personalized Treatment and Therapy Plan
Evelyn performed two hours of intense physical and occupational therapy six times per week. She participated in Regency’s resident activity programs and actively participated with Generations at Regency therapists on physical maneuverability and mobility exercises; physical strengthening activities and dexterity/balance therapies.
Results
Evelyn’s recovery was four weeks ahead of schedule. She has been discharged to her home and is happily re-engaged in her daily routine in the comfort of her own home with her loving daughter Karen.
Family Feedback
My mother fell and broke her hip and arm November 13, 2011. The pain she experienced was unbelievable. After surgeries, the healing process was a journey. The word I would use in describing Generations at Regency is awesome! The program they customized for my mom was unbelievable. To imagine that a woman, in her 90’s, would be doing ‘swing-dancing’ with a physical therapist is, again, awesome! The complete mending of her hip was supposed to take 12 weeks. She was discharged to her own home in less than 6 weeks. Thank you Regency!
