OutComes
W.R. is an 84 year old past patient who was admitted for rehabilitation after a total knee replacement. Upon admission, W.R. needed assistance with all aspects of ADL's, transfers, and ambulation. Upon discharge to home with his wife, he was completely independent with everything. Regarding his positive outcome, W.R. commented " This is a wonderful Skilled Nursing Facility. All the Nurses and Therapy staff are skilled and well trained to take care of the residents. They are most friendly and nothing seems to be to much trouble for them to do. Everything is kept clean, I give this facility an AAA+++ rating!"
