Details of Experience:
On 7//16/2025, Sally was admitted to our community from St. Catherine’ s hospital with an admitting diagnosis of a pubis fracture, which resulted from a fall while she was hanging laundry. During her stay in the hospital, Sally was stabilized but required further healing and was admitted to The Hamlet for rehabilitation.
Upon admission, she was warmly welcomed by the interdisciplinary team including Nursing, Therapy Services, Recreation, Social Work, Dietary, and Concierge Services, each committed to providing personalized support. Sally required Physical Therapy (PT), and Occupational Therapy (OT), to regain her strength and restore her independence.
Sally was evaluated by Physical Therapist Arun Marumudi and Occupational Therapist Melissa Silva, who curated specific goals for her healing journey. She required PT to address bed mobility, fall prevention strategies, safe transfers, enhance strength, balance, and ambulation. She required OT to maximize independence with Activities of Daily Living (ADL’S).
She worked with PT on gait training to improve the way she walked on even and uneven surfaces, as well as stairs training and standing activities to improve dynamic balance. In OT, Sally was given therapeutic exercises to improve shoulder flexion, elbow extension flexion, and grip strength to enhance ability to perform sit to stand transfers and lifting objects to complete ADLs.
After two months of commitment and care from the team at The Hamlet, Sally achieved the highest practical level of independence. She became able to safely transfer from her bed to her chair and participate in activities of choice, followed by being able to walk 300 feet while able to maintain balance and with recognition of safety hazards. She is now able to ascend and descend 10 steps with independence using handrails in order to safely navigate in and out of her residence. She became independent in almost all ADLs such as self-care, getting dressed and personal hygiene.
Through her own motivation, support from her family, and encouragement from the amazing team at The Hamlet, Sally was able to gain her independence back and discharge back to her home safely. Her dedication and hard work during her time with us have been inspiring, and we sent her off with our best wishes for health, strength, and happiness!
