Jaspard's Success Story
From Kindred Hospital Central Tampa
Jaspard was admitted to HCA Bayonet Hospital with a right lower extremity infection. Unfortunately, his condition took a sudden turn, he developed septic shock, atrial fibrillation with RVR and was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. He required a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit, CRRT, and an eventual amputation. Due to his complex medical needs, the decision was made to transfer him to Kindred Hospital Central Tampa for continued care and comprehensive rehabilitation.
Upon admission, Jaspard was confused and deconditioned. He had a wound vac on his right lower extremity at the amputation site, he was dependent with bed mobility and unable to feed himself or do any of his acts of daily living (ADLs). The interdisciplinary team crafted a tailored care plan, focusing on wound healing and rehabilitation to enhance his overall well-being and expedite his recovery. Undeterred by the challenges, Jaspard remained determined, actively participating in his care plan, and collaborating diligently with our physicians, wound care and rehabilitation team.
Initially weakened by an extended period of bed confinement, Jaspard steadily advanced from bed to chair, eventually progressing to transferring to a wheelchair without assistance and propelling himself over 500ft! Alongside mobility, Jaspard undertook the process of relearning essential activities of daily living (ADLs), overcoming each hurdle with remarkable perseverance. Successfully surpassing all the goals outlined in his comprehensive care plan, he regained his ability to complete many of his ADLs including feeding himself and his grooming task. Jaspard achieved one success over another and was discharged to an acute rehab to continue his rehab journey.
Care for Complex Conditions
Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
