From Kindred Hospital San Francisco Bay Area

Christian was transferred to Kindred Hospital San Francisco Bay Area for tracheostomy weaning, respiratory management, and rehabilitation. After experiencing a fall resulting in a traumatic brain injury, Christian suffered from respiratory failure. He was unable to communicate his needs and he required tube feedings for nutrition. His cognitive and functional abilities were severely compromised requiring constant supervision for safety.

Christian presented with generalized muscle weakness and required assistance for all mobility. Under the guidance of our interdisciplinary team, Christian made remarkable progress. He ambulated 1000 feet independently  and negotiated 5 flights of stairs. He was also weaned off the tracheostomy and remained on room air.  His voice was intact, and he tolerated a modified diet. Christian was  discharged home with the support of his family and home health services.
