Rehabilitation Outcomes

Ms. G admitted to Mont Marie Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center on February 03, 2023 from Holyoke Medical Center with Spinal Stenosis. On admission, she was placed under the care of Dr. Joshua Mintz. During the course of the stay, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy were initiated and she was placed in the Orthopedic Specialty Program in order to eiciently and eectively identify her unique needs and tailor specialized treatment plans to successfully transition to the next level of care.

On admission, Ms. G was noted to be unable to complete toileting and required maximal assistance with lower body dressing, moderate assistance with bathing, minimal assistance with upper body dressing, bed mobility and ambulation and setup assistance with hygiene tasks and self-feeding. Decreased balance and activity tolerance also increased her risk for falling. She has been working with the interdisciplinary team and participating in care plan meetings and therapy throughout her stay. Her participation was limited in the beginning of her stay due to weakness and overall deconditioning, but as she improved and increased her strength, she was able to increase her participation in higher level functional activities.

The therapy team provided skilled interventions to address her adaptation, compensation, and restoration potential and coordinated with the interdisciplinary team to ensure appropriate clinical care areas were addressed. On March 05, 2023, she successfully discharged home being able to complete hygiene tasks and self-feeding independently, bed mobility with modified independence, upper body dressing with setup assistance, bathing with supervision, lower body dressing and ambulation with standby assistance and toileting with moderate assistance. Great work Ms. G!
