Details of experience:
Robert F. was admitted to The Paramount at Somers following a right knee replacement surgery earlier this spring. After struggling with arthritis in his leg for over a decade, he consulted Dr. Stephen Nicholas, an orthopedic surgeon, and together they determined that surgery was the best course of action. The procedure was successfully performed at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Following the surgery, Robert F. required focused rehabilitation to help regain his strength and mobility, so he decided to transfer to The Paramount at Somers to begin the next phase of his recovery.
Upon arrival, Robert F. was warmly welcomed and shared that he felt at home ever since. He quickly made friends with the residents in nearby rooms and found comfort in the strong sense of community. He also expressed his appreciation for the housekeeping staff, noting how much he enjoyed the way they cleaned his room and made his bed…always with a smile.
At the time of admission, in physical therapy, Robert F. required moderate assistance for bed mobility and maximum assistance for transfers. He was non-ambulatory, using a wheelchair, and weight-bearing as tolerated. In occupational therapy, he needed moderate assistance for
upper body dressing and maximum assistance for lower body dressing, and was dependent on toilet hygiene.
Thanks to his own hard work and the dedication of the rehabilitation team, he has made tremendous progress. He is now functioning at a set-up level for tasks, able to complete activities independently when items are within reach. He is walking 200 feet with a walker under supervision and can manage four to six stairs with supervision.
Robert F. is projected to be discharged home on July 3rd as an independent, continuing with home therapy. He will begin with a walker, with the goal of transitioning to a cane and eventually walking on his own. The Paramount at Somers is proud to have supported Robert F. on this journey and thanks him for choosing us. The Paramount wishes him continued health, strength, and success as he returns home.
