PATHWAYS MEMORY CARE AT VILLA TOSCANA

Ms. W was admitted for rehabilitation after a displaced fracture of her femur, and hip after having a fall down stairs at her home. She had been in the hospital for over a month, with failure to thrive, and they had requested a hospice consult. She had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and had been in the middle stages of the disease. She admitted in January, and we had asked that the family let us attempt therapy, but were really leaning towards hospice. At first, the resident was slow to get motivated for therapy. Our therapists looked at different modalities to help make the resident feel comfortable with just moving her broken extremities. It took about a week, but it became clear that the resident was developing trust. She continued to improve, and work with therapy. After just 45 days in the rehab, she walked out of our facility independently, and discharged back to her home!!
