Mr. Haycraft came to Highlands Nursing and Rehabilitation after hospitalization for shortness of air/hypoxia due to pleural effusion and trauma with several rib fractures. At the time of admission, Mr. Haycraft was dependent on oxygen, experienced generalized weakness and could only ambulate 15 feet. With the assistance of physical therapy and Mr. Haycraft’s motivation and determination, he is now able to complete all tasks and mobility without oxygen use and ambulates throughout the facility!

Mitzi came to us due to a stroke and hemiplegia resulting in deficits in all areas. With the help of therapy and her strong work ethic and motivation, she has made big gains in her recovery. She has progressed through different adaptive equipment to be able to ambulate with a straight cane with contact guard assist, transfer with stand by assist, undergoing stair training and is now completing dressing and toileting tasks with supervision/setup. With therapy, Mitzi is still working to improve to her maximum potential and plans to return home.

Congrats, Mitzi on all that you have accomplished!
