Margaret Success Story
"I will always remember how much the nursing staff did for me and rehab for getting me out of bed." With a diagnosis of cellulitis and respiratory failure, Margaret was transferred to Kindred Hospital for ventilator weaning. She made excellent progress and was discharged to a skilled nursing facility.
Margaret was admitted to the local hospital with severe lower abdominal cellulitis and respiratory failure.
Once stabilized, Margaret was admitted to Kindred La Mirada. She immediately started working with our rehabilitation team and was able to progress out of bed into a wheelchair. Shortly after, she soon could stand with moderate assistance and could walk 40 feet. She was also weaned off the ventilator and transitioned to less intensive breathing support.
Margaret continued to progress to the point of only needing minimal oxygen. She was discharged to a skilled nursing facility in for continued rehabilitation. She is looking forward to returning home to her family and her cats!
