Success Story – Sept – Betty Shank
We are excited to highlight Ms. Betty Shank this month for her success in her therapy! Betty is a resident of Julia Manor and needed Physical Therapy to improve her walking throughout Julia Manor. She wanted to be able to walk to the dining room, to activities, and to improve her independence overall. Betty also had a great desire to use a rollator with a seat for walking in the facility.
Betty worked hard with strengthening, balance, and walking tasks with the physical therapy team to improve her endurance, safety and overall functional abilities. We practiced indoors and outdoors with the rollator and fine-tuned her safety awareness and balance during walking.
Betty is now able to walk independently inside with the rollator and only requires supervision outdoors. She absolutely loves the new walker! She loves that she can rest on the seat when needed and the four wheels make walking easier for her! Way to go Betty, so happy to help you become more independent!

Success Story – Dec – Betty Moats
Mrs. Betty Moats lived with her husband very independently with her mobility and even drove to take care of errands for her and her husband. Unfortunately, Mrs. Moats had an episode that caused her to fall at home and was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with a neck fracture. The Therapy team focused her treatment on rebuilding strength, restoring mobility, relieving pain, and regaining the skills to help Betty achieve her goals: “To go home and do all the things I did before.”. The therapist also challenged her with activities she would encounter every day at home, like navigating uneven surfaces, such as going from a concrete surface to grass, and climbing stairs. Congrats to Mrs. Moats and all the progress she has made to return home!
