When Audrey H. came to us, she couldn't walk and was in a great deal of pain from her foot. But, at 84, she still had a spark in her and wanted desperately to get better. We knew we couldn't let that spark go out, so besides giving her great nursing care, we concentrated on lots of encouragement. 

The therapy she received eased her pain and did a great deal to bolster Audrey's spirits. Then we taught her how to control her diabetes and got her back on her feet. After several months of physical therapy, Audrey could walk well with the help of a walker. After several months of occupational therapy, Audrey relearned the activities of daily living and she could safely take care of herself. 

The day she went home - back to her own apartment and able to take care of herself - was a joyful day for everyone! We call every now and then to check up on her. She is controlling her diabetes and, best of all, she's an independent woman!

This is only one of many success stories we have had at Prairie View Care Center of Lewistown.
