Life At Bolivar

This week, we proudly announce Ms. Mary Lake's successful completion of therapy sessions, marking her return home to loved ones. She selected Christian Care Center of Bolivar for rehabilitation due to decline in physical strength, static balance, neuromotor control, pain, and dynamic balance. 

Within 20 days, she diligently worked with Broad River Rehab therapists, regaining strength, neuromotor control, static balance during standing, dynamic balance while in motion, and experiencing controlled pain relief. When asked about her therapy experience, she expressed sincere gratitude, stating that she is happy to return home feeling safer and appreciated everyone who contributed to her improved well-being.

We extend our best wishes for her on going physical success.

We enjoyed time on the patio before the storm came in! It was a beautiful Spring day listening to music and reminiscing about days gone by.

This week, we proudly acknowledge Ms. Lucille Rhodes for her impressive accomplishments.

Following a lower limb surgery, she selected Christian Care Center of Bolivar to address her therapy needs. Through dedicated participation in each of her therapy sessions, she has achieved significant gains. Ms. Rhodes improved her activity tolerance, standing balance, and upper-body strength, enabling her to stand up from a seated position. She is eager to reunite with her loved ones. Ms. Rhodes strongly advocates for therapy, stating, “I urge others to get therapy when they need it. I thank each of you for helping me in therapy.” 

We continue to extend our prayers for continuing her health and wellness. We are grateful Ms. Rhodes gave our Broad River Rehab staff the opportunity to support her rehabilitation journey.

This week, our therapy sessions coincided with St. Patrick's Day celebrations, during which we got creative. 

St. Patrick's Day named for Ireland's patron saint, is a global celebration held in March, characterized by parades and festivities saturated with the color green. The prominence of green is a representation of Ireland's lush landscapes. 

St. Patrick utilized the shamrock to illustrate the Holy Trinity to the Irish population. The shamrock's three leaves represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Since the 18th century, the shamrock has been a national emblem of Ireland. 

Although originating in Ireland, many people worldwide claim Irish heritage, and St. Patrick's Day celebrations serve as means to honor that heritage. Interestingly, the phrase “the luck of the Irish” may be attributed to Ireland's exceptionally high incidence of four-leaf clovers. 

Our Broad River Rehab Staff at Christian Care Center of Bolivar enjoyed integrating fun in functionality into our patients' sessions.

We proudly recognize Ms. Margie Arnold's successful completion of her therapy program this week, at Christian Care Center of Bolivar. 

Ms. Arnold expressed commitment to her treatment program in hopes of returning home with her prior level of function. Her notable success, marked by improved activity tolerance, walking distance, standing balance, and overall endurance, was achieved in a brief period. 

Ms. Arnold attributes her success to her unwavering dedication, saying, “All of you have been absolutely wonderful to me. I would not be going home if it were not for you therapists believing in my abilities.” 

We are delighted to acknowledge Ms. Arnold's outstanding achievements. Her warm and welcoming nature encouraged others to view therapy positively. Our Broad River Rehab staff extends their warmest congratulations to Ms. Arnold.

Mr. Clifton Cannon underwent rehabilitation at Christian Care Center of Bolivar to address severe physical and mental fatigue resulting from multiple health issues.

Throughout his therapy sessions, Mr. Cannon demonstrated significant improvement within his cognitive function and communication in developing construction and comprehensive approaches. He also regained muscle strength, active range of motion, tolerance, endurance, balance, and coordination while standing and walking.

His consistent participation and determination enabled him to successfully complete his rehabilitation plan. Mr. Cannon expressed, “I am thankful to return home, feeling so much stronger than when I first arrived. If I ever need therapy again, I will definitely return here.” Our Broad River Rehab staff wishes Mr. Cannon all the best as he returns home.
