A graduation worth celebrating: Tom is heading home and back to work!

When Tom arrived at Briarwood after a serious neurological condition caused significant loss of function, he needed maximum assistance with daily activities. Through therapy five days a week and tremendous determination, he progressed to independence using his wheelchair and walking with a walker with light hands-on support.

To prepare for discharge, our rehabilitation team completed a home evaluation to help ensure Tom’s space was set up and ready for his return. Now, he is ready to take this exciting next step.

Congratulations, Tom! Your hard work has brought you a long way.

We celebrated the iconic Ms. Martha Stewart the only way we know how...by baking!

Instead of a birthday party, our residents had a baking party inspired by her love of cooking and timeless style! Everyone had a blast watching Jordan give a cooking demonstration on how to make One Pan Pasta, but the best part was the taste test after!
