Success Stories
Congratulations, Lynn!
Upon Lynn’s admission to Storybrook Care and Rehabilitation, she was non-weight bearing due to hip surgery and used a wheelchair as her main form of mobility throughout the facility. Through consistent participation in occupational and physical therapy, Lynn increased overall mobility, independence, and well-being. Lynn really flourished while at Storybrook. Through the relationships she has gained and the family-like experience demonstrated at Storybrook, she was motivated to return to her prior level of function. On 7/21/25, Lynn graduated from therapy and walked out of Storybrook to return home. Lynn expresses great thanks to the Storybrook Care and Rehabilitation staff for all their support and guidance throughout her rehab stay! We are so proud to see Lynn leave our facility stronger, more independent, and ready to return to daily life with confidence!
Congratulations, Donna!
When Donna was admitted to Storybrook Care and Rehabilitation, her goal was to complete rehab, receive tracheostomy care, and return home with increased function and independence. Her dedicated care team consisted of nursing, therapy, and respiratory. Her goals with occupational therapy included increasing strength, range of motion, and overall independence. Additionally, Donna’s goals with respiratory therapy included breathing independently. Through daily respiratory care, progressive capping trials, and close collaboration across nursing and therapy, Donna’s tracheostomy was safely removed in-house. She was able to go home breathing on her own and communicating more easily. Donna’s caregiver, Paula, expresses gratitude to Storybrook for the significant increase in Donna’s strength and mobility. Storybrook is so grateful to be a part of Donna’s recovery and journey to return home to her prior level of living!
Congratulations, Mark!
Upon admission to Storybrook Care and Rehab, Mark’s goal was to increase independence, mobility, and to return home to be reunited with his dog, Harley Quinn. Additionally, Mark primarily utilized a wheelchair for mobility when he was admitted. Through both occupational and physical therapy, he was able to not only meet his goals but surpassed them by ambulating independently using a four wheeled walker. Prior to admission Mark primarily relied on a power wheelchair for mobility throughout his home and community. Through hard work, dedication, and consistent practice, Mark built the strength, balance, and confidence needed to walk greater distances safely. He returned home with significantly increased independence, ready to navigate his environment with greater freedom and pride. Mark will be missed by both staff and residents here at Storybrook, as he was often referred to as the morning greeter! We are so grateful to be a part of Mark’s journey and help him return home to Harley Quinn!
