Randy's Success Story
From Kindred Hospital Albuquerque
Randy was admitted to Kindred Hospital Albuquerque following a discharge from a local hospital due to untreated wounds that required advanced wound care. Kindred Hospital was the preferred choice for his recovery due to its comprehensive approach, which included IV antibiotics, advanced wound care, and extensive rehabilitation. The interdisciplinary team quickly crafted a personalized care plan, focusing on IV antibiotic treatment and debridement of multiple wounds on his right arm’s soft tissue.
From the moment he was admitted, Randy was fully motivated and embraced his care plan with open arms. His primary goal was clear: to return home and reunite with his family. The admitting physician promptly administered appropriate IV antibiotics to combat the infection, while the wound care team began meticulous debridement and treatment of his wounds. Over the course of his stay, Randy's wounds showed significant improvement. With the combined efforts of advanced wound care techniques and consistent IV antibiotic therapy, his wounds began to heal as anticipated. By the time of his discharge, Randy's wounds had healed by 75%, a promising indicator of his ongoing recovery.
In addition to wound care, Randy's rehabilitation plan included extensive physical and occupational therapy to rebuild his muscular endurance. He spent over 130 hours working diligently with his therapists, relearning basic motor skills and regaining strength. His physical therapy sessions focused on restoring mobility and endurance, while occupational therapy helped him regain the ability to perform daily activities independently. Nutrition also played a crucial role in Randy's recovery. His nutritionist provided a tailored diet plan to support wound healing and overall health, ensuring he had the necessary nutrients to aid in his recovery process.
Randy's progress was remarkable, as he made significant strides in healing his wounds but also improved his motor skills and physical strength. By meeting and surpassing all the goals set in his care plan, Randy was deemed suitable for discharge and was able to return home with a continued outpatient wound care regimen to fully heal his remaining wounds. From the entire staff at Kindred, we wish him all the success in his recovery.
