John was admitted to Sinai Center for skilled therapy and continued medical care due to an injury to his head and with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the clinical care provided by Sinai Center\u2019s nursing staff, the daily care from the CNA\u2019s, and the progress achieved with Sinai\u2019s personalized skilled therapy program that included daily physical, occupational and speech therapy, John is now verbally responsive and able to manage mostly on his own, requiring only limited supervision and assistance with ADL\u2019s and is independent with bed mobility and transfers.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I was alert when they admitted me at Sinai Center, I was disoriented, and required extensive assistance with all the activities of daily living, including basic things like bed mobility and transfers. Today, after the great care I received and the rehab I did at Sinai, I can go about daily living mostly on my own!\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet Andre Townsend, Subacute Rehab Patient<\/em><\/p>\n

Andre, a 30 yr old Fairmont, NJ resident, works as a daily wage construction worker. He was shot twice in the stomach while exiting a local corner store one evening in December. Following major surgery that was only able to successfully remove one bullet, Andre was completely debilitated. Upon discharge, he transitioned to Sinai Center for aggressive therapy. Now a few months later, Andre walks around using a rollator, eats on his own while sitting in our dayroom, and is regaining his independence with self care. His girlfriend, who you can usually find at his side, is cheering him on.\u201cI have made a lot of progress ever since I have been here. I am starting to feel like myself again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet Thomas Flaherty, Spinal Rehab Patient<\/em><\/p>\n

Thomas, a 41-year old truck barrel loader, fell and tripped on a manhole cover while crossing the street. He injured his back and it took him 2 months with various diagnostic tests to find out he had a protruding disc in the lumbar spine. Unable to walk, roll over in bed or dress himself, he underwent major back surgery and was transferred to Sinai Center five days later.<\/p>\n

With intensive physical and occupational therapies following the spinal rehab protocol, Thomas now walks everywhere using a rolling walker and is able to dress himself. He is gearing up to returning home to his loved ones and will continue therapy in an outpatient setting so he can get back to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore, I could not get out of bed, I felt helpless. Today, my therapist makes me laugh and keeps pushing me to go further each day. This has been a life changing experience. I love the E-stim my therapist provides, it eases the pain and lets me work harder towards my goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet Donald Jones, Stroke Patient<\/em><\/p>\n

Donald, a young, talented Chef in Jersey City, was admitted to Sinai Center in a vegetative state and only able to move his eyeballs after suffering 3 back to back strokes. Following months of intensive physical, occupational and speech therapy \u2013 Donald now gets dressed by himself, moves independently around in his wheelchair and is able to express ideas \u2013 and hold a real conversation! We welcome Donald\u2019s fianc\u00e9 who visits regularly, and take delight in seeing them, happy, eating their meals together. Donald, an active participant in his recovery, is proud of the enormous strides he\u2019s made and looks forward to regaining his full independence.<\/p>\nMeet Abney Webb, Long Term Care Resident<\/em>\n

Upon admission to Sinai Center with a host of complications and history of rheumatoid arthritis and gout, Abney was completely bed-bound and required a feeder. After two months of intensive skilled occupational and physical therapies, he is now alert, oriented, and walking on his own \u2013 only assisted by a walker, and able to feed himself. He continues to progress and is an extremely motivated participant in his treatment.<\/p>\n

Abney was effusive in his praise of Sinai\u2019s Therapy Department: \u201cFirstly, I enjoy being in therapy \u2026 all the different types of exercises have helped me so much. Most of all, I enjoy all the help that the OT has given me \u2013 she is sincere with all my care.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
