Admitted to Kenwood Health and Rehabilitation Center for: Cardiac Rehab
Jimmie B. Received: Physical and Occupational Therapy which focused on cardiac conditioning after an aneurysm was repaired. Nutritional education was personalized to his needs which will aid in his continued recovery once home.
Scheduled to Return Home: After only 15 short days he can once again enjoy spending time with his children, newest grandchild and walking daily.
“I was empowered to change my life, after my diagnosis, prior to surgery,” Jimmie said. “The structured program Kenwood offered inspired me to really take control! They gave me the tools I needed to continue my lifestyle change and gave me the opportunity to interact with others who have been through a similar experience.”
Once Jimmie’s procedure was scheduled, he toured rehab facilities in his area, ultimately choosing Kenwood. By doing this, Jimmie was able to pre-select his room, speak with the therapy team about his post-op goals, meet with the staff and other residents and devise an individual care plan a week prior to admitting.
