Celebrating Clinical Success : Jo Ann Whitson

Mrs. Jo Ann Whitson was a resident of Christian Care of Unicoi County who admitted to our Rehabilitation Center to participate in our inpatient program following a decline in function.

Mrs. Whitson pursued goals in therapy that included improvements in strength for dynamic stability during activities of daily living, extremity muscle endurance for walking increased distances, and balance for the progression of activity tolerance. With the Clinical Team tailoring exercise activities towards Mrs. Whitson's goals, she quickly demonstrated advancements in dynamic stability, walking distance, and daily activity tolerance. Driving her success in therapy was her increasing will to go home.

With the completion of therapy, Mrs. Whitson exhibited exuberance for the opportunity to return home. She states that she enjoyed therapy, and it helped her improve her balance and ability to do “daily tasks”, but she is even more excited to go home. Mrs. Whitson was a joy in therapy with a smiling face and a resoluteness to accomplish her destination. By the end of her stay, Mrs. Whitson's determination to go home led her to her ultimate goal. Thank you for choosing Christian Care Center of Unicoi County for your Rehabilitation. We are proud of the progress you made!

Celebrating Clinical Success : Glen Hollifield

Mr. Hollifield was admitted to Christian Care of Unicoi County following several months of progressive functional decline and an episode of acute respiratory failure. Mr. Hollifield also had recent pneumonia, which left him significantly weakened, decreased his endurance, and required assistance with daily activities.

Upon admission, an individualized care plan was developed by our Interdisciplinary Team. Respiratory therapy focused on improving his breathing, airway clearance, oxygen management, and overall respiratory endurance. At the same time, physical and occupational therapy worked to rebuild his strength, mobility, balance and independence with daily tasks.

Through determination, hard work, and the support of our dedicated Rehabilitation Team, Mr. Hollifield made steady progress throughout his stay. His respiratory status improved, his endurance increased, and he regained the strength and confidence needed to perform daily activities more independently.

Thanks to Mr. Hollifield's commitment and the efforts of respiratory therapy, rehabilitation services, nursing and the entire Care Team, he achieved his therapy goals and was able to safely discharge home with an improved quality of life.

Everyone here at Christian Care of Unicoi is proud to have been part of Mr. Hollifield's recovery journey and wishes him continued health and success.
