When Ms. Ethel became our client, she had just been discharged from a rehabilitation center and was in considerable pain. At that time, her only movement was rolling from side to side on the bed. After speaking with her daughter about their goals, I learned that the long-term vision was for Ms. Ethel to wake up in the morning, dress with minimal assistance, and walk to the living room to enjoy her favorite TV shows instead of being confined to bed. The short-term goal, however, was to get her sitting up on the bed.

To achieve these goals, I recommended a combination of home care and home health services, including physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). With these services in place, our dedicated team from Gaddiel supported Ms. Ethel through her therapy routines during our daily visits, ensuring she followed the recommended exercises and care plans.
