Rehabilitation Case Study

Mr. B admitted to Cedar View Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center on May 06, 2022 under the care of Dr. Janarthanan Someswarananthan. During the course of the stay, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy were initiated to efficiently and effectively identify his unique needs and tailor specialized treatment plans to successfully transition to the next level of care.

On admission, he was noted to require minimal assistance with bathing and lower body dressing, contact guard assistance with ambulation, standby assistance with hygiene tasks, toileting, bathing and transfers and supervision with upper body dressing. Decreased balance and deconditioning also increased his risk for falling. he has been working with the interdisciplinary team and participating in care plan meetings and therapy throughout his stay. His participation was limited in the beginning due to weakness and overall deconditioning, but as he improved and increased his strength, he was able to increase his participation in higher level functional activities.

The therapy team provided skilled interventions to address his adaptation, compensation, and restoration potential and coordinated with the interdisciplinary team to ensure appropriate clinical care areas were addressed. On May 18, 2022, he successfully discharged home being able to complete bathing, hygiene tasks, dressing and toileting independently and bed mobility, transfers and ambulation with modified independence. Great work Mr. B!
