Boyd Nursing and Rehabilitation would like to take to opportunity to share the successful recovery of our patient, Mrs. Loma Griffith.

Mrs. Griffith came to Boyd Nursing for rehabilitation following a fall in which she sustained a hip fracture. Loma’s injury was compounded by a dx of COVID 19 to further complicate her recovery. This was a difficult challenge to overcome. However, being the energetic and outgoing person that she is, Loma proved herself willful to return home. Upon coming to Boyd, Loma presented with a host of complications and underlying impairments including weakness, impaired mobility, and difficulty caring for herself. Over the course of her short rehab stay, Loma actively worked with her rehab team of Physical and Occupational Therapists, as well as our skilled nursing and dietary professionals to regain her strength and mobility in order to restore her to her prior level of function and independent living. Mrs. Griffith has been blessed with several children and grandchildren to love and support her throughout her recovery and are anxiously awaiting her return home. Mrs. Loma, it has truly been a pleasure to help you along this journey! All of us here at Boyd Nursing and Rehab wish you the best.

Boyd Nursing and Rehabilitation is proud to recognize resident Freemont Broughman’s Success Story!

Mr. Freemont Broughman was admitted to Boyd Nursing in late November following complications from COVID-19. He presented to our community with generalized weakness, balance deficits and poor activity tolerance, which led to a need for significant assistance with mobility and self care. During his stay, Mr. Broughman consistently participated in physical and occupational therapy, where he immediately demonstrated his willingness and determination to work hard and regain his prior level of function. Freemont began to show improvements in all aspects of his therapy and was soon able to transfer and ambulate over 100 feet at a contact guard assist level. With his continued hard work and  perseverance, Mr. Broughman is now able to return home with the help of his family. Congratulations to Mr. Broughman and his Care Team on their success!

Boyd Nursing & Rehabilitation is proud to recognize Danny Chapman’s Success Story!

Mr. Danny Chapman was admitted to Boyd Nursing for rehabilitation in October, following complications of a respiratory failure and discharge from Hospice care. Upon admission, Mr. Chapman presented with decreased strength and activity tolerance, balance deficits and immobility, and required extensive assistance with his activities of daily living. Given the complexity of his situation, Mr. Chapman required medication management, lab monitoring, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy services in order to restore him to a level to return home with the support of his loving wife.

Despite all the obstacles, this did not damper Mr. Chapman’s will to return home to his family. He worked diligently to overcome what seemed impossible at the start of his recovery. With the help of his physical, occupational, and speech therapists, Danny regained his strength and mobility to perform transfers and ambulation. He also regained his ability to perform self-care activities. This improvement enabled him to return home with his family. Congratulations, Mr. Chapman! We are so happy to have been able to assist you during your recovery.

Boyd Nursing & Rehabilitation is proud to recognize Wilma Penix’s Success Story.

Wilma came to Boyd Nursing at the end of September for a short rehab stay to regain her strength and independence. After a hospital stay for the progression of her kidney disease and coronary artery disease, Mrs. Penix was unable to care for herself safely at home. She demonstrated strength deficits and balance concerns, leading to an increased risk of falls. During her stay, she worked hard in physical and occupational therapy and was always smiling and laughing throughout her treatments.

Mrs. Wilma was able to regain her strength and her ability to ambulate more than 200ft using her case. She was ecstatic to be able to discharge home, with the help of her son! Congratulations, Mrs. Wilma, we are so excited to have been part of your success!

Boyd Nursing & Rehabilitation is proud to recognize Jennie Royster’s Success Story.

Mrs. Jennie Royster was admitted in July after being in the hospital for a right shoulder fracture she sustained from a fall. She was unable to return home from the hospital, as she demonstrated deficits in balance and strength, leading to an inability to care for herself safely. Mrs. Royster participated in all three therapy disciplines: physical, occupational, and speech therapies. While in the therapy gym, she worked hard, always trying to do just a little more than what was asked of her. She often encouraged her new friends during their exercises.

Due to her dedication and strong willingness throughout her treatment sessions, Mrs. Jennie made great improvements in all aspects of her mobility! She was able to ambulate over 250ft using her rollator and perform her daily self-care at a supervised level. We were thrilled that, with the support of her daughters, Mrs. Royster was able to return home! Congratulations, Mrs. Jennie, we are so happy to have been part of your success!

Boyd Nursing and Rehabilitation would like to recognize Mr. Mark Oney as our most recent patient Success Story.

Mark was admitted in May 2021 after being in the hospital for LE cellulitis. He presented to us with a compromised health status, as he demonstrated deficits in balance and strength, which lead to a need for increased assistance with mobility and self care. Mr. Oney has become an eager therapy participant in both physical and occupational therapy during his stay. He has shown great improvement in all aspects of his mobility, even winning gold in many events during our “Rehab Olympics”! Mark is now able to walk about the facility unassisted and often visits many of his friends here throughout the day.

We are thrilled to have been part of such an amazing rehabilitation story and are so proud of Mark for all that he has been able to accomplish!

Mrs. Pinkerton actively engaged in physical and occupational therapy services to learn compensatory strategies to regain her mobility and ability to perform activities of daily living in order to return to community living.  After 4 weeks of rehab and continual nursing services, Mary improved her ability to walk over 100 feet with an adaptive device and to perform her selfcare with CGA! With the support of her loving family, Mary was able to return home. Congratulations Mrs. Pinkerton, we are very proud of your progress and happy to have assisted you along the way!

Boyd Nursing and Rehabilitation is pleased to share our newest success story of Ms. Alesa Mastin! 

Ms. Mastin came to Boyd Nursing for rehab the last of December following a recent knee replacement and complicated hospital stay that left her immobile and unable to care for herself at home. Medical challenges continued to test her will throughout her recovery, but she proved herself a fighter in overcoming COVID-19 in addition to her other medical complications. Initially, Alesa required the assistance of two therapists just to get her to the edge of the bed. She required total care for all mobility and self-care. Nonetheless, Alesa was motivated and willing to put in the hard work and effort to return home. Over the past three and a half months, Alesa has cooperatively and diligently completed an individualized rehab program of strength and balance training, gait training, and self-care training with emphasis on safety and compensatory strategies to regain her functional independence. 

Today, Alesa is walking 150ft with a rollator walker and is performing self-care activities with supervision assistance! This improvement enables Alesa to now return home with the support of her family. Alesa, everyone at Boyd Rehabilitation Center is happy to have been part of your successful recovery and glad to see you reunited with your family and cat, Bella. We wish you the best! 

Boyd Nursing and Rehabilitation is excited to share the successful recovery of resident, Mrs. Norma Williamson. 

Mrs. Williamson came to Boyd Nursing for rehabilitation on Christmas Eve following an extensive hospital stay.  This was a difficult transition for her during the holiday season, however Norma proved herself willful to return home.  Upon coming to Boyd, Norma presented with a host of complications and underlying impairments including severe weakness, immobility, swallowing issues, weight loss, and inability to care for herself. 

Over the course of the following 3 months, Norma actively worked with her rehab team of Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapists as well as our skilled nursing and dietary professionals to regain her strength and mobility, improve her nutritional intake and dietary level, and restore her to her prior level of functional independence of requiring very minimal physical assistance from caregivers. 

It was an extra blessing this Easter to see Mrs. Williamson return home to her loving family.
