Resident Raves About Capri Gardens Rehabilitation and Nursing Care
January 22, 2020
James came to Capri Gardens after undergoing hospitalization due to CHF Exacerbation and Kidney Failure. Prior to his hospitalization, James was living at home with his wife. They enjoyed going to Disney World and music concerts, and he also worked on his own farm. He has been farming since he was six years old! He was determined to get back to his home and activities!
Upon evaluation following his hospitalization, James required supervision assistance for transfers, moderate assistance for bed mobility, and was dependent on help with getting up and downstairs. With hard work and motivation, James was able to return to his prior level of function with his activities of daily living, ambulating household distances with a rollator walker and going up 12 stairs independently! He also learned to manage his pain through energy conservation techniques.
James returned home to live independently with his wife of 51 years, and they are enjoying their retirement filled with activities and adventures!
