Details of experience:
Mrs. G was admitted to Coral Reef Subacute Care Center on June 10th, 2025. Mrs. G is a 76-year-old female who was admitted from Jackson Health Systems for rehabilitation due to Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting the left non-dominant side of her body and leaving her with speech and language deficits. Mrs. G is a returning patient to our community.
Mrs. G felt “very funny and scared” when she arrived at Coral Reef because she did not know the people around her. She was greeted by Nursing, Activities, Concierge, and Therapy. Mrs. G was evaluated within the first 48 hours at the center, where it was determined she was dependent and required a lifting Hoyer to get out of bed, as she was unable to roll or sit on the side of the bed alone. The deficits left behind not only affect her walking, but also her mood and talking as well. The goals identified for Mrs. G were to be able to roll lying on her back from left to right and to be able to recall daily events.
During the following two months of Therapy, Mrs. G was highly encouraged and motivated to get stronger. Mrs. G’s family was here throughout her stay, very positive and strong-willed to make sure Mrs. G would return home feeling her best self.
Mrs. G attended her favorite activity, Bingo, as often as possible. Due to a small wound, she could not stay in her wheelchair for prolonged periods of time, but this did not discourage her from making progress and enjoying her time here. In a conversation with her, she was telling me, “She made lots of friends like other patients that played alongside her at bingo, or even the ones that don’t have become family to her”.
Mrs. G has made progress with skilled intervention; she is able to eat with set-up assistance, able to sit on her own, and requires less assistance at discharge. Mrs. G can transfer from bed to chair and walk 50 feet with a rolling walker and partial MOD assistance for standing balance, taking standing breaks as needed. Mrs. G not only met her goals, but she also went from dependent to supervision while lying on her back rolling from left to right, and was able to sequence and problem solve ADLs 50% of the time at discharge.
She was discharged home with caregiver and family support, as well as Home Health Care. Mrs. G was a nurse for 33 years, and it’s an honor to be able to return all the care and love back to her and her family, as she has given to her community for so long. We are delighted with all of her progress and wish her the best at home with all of her loving family.
