How did this resident hear about The Emerald Peek? The patient was referred to the facility through case management at the hospital.
Maria was admitted to The Emerald Peek with the following diagnoses: Heart failure, Dyspnea, Gait and Mobility abnormalities, Muscle wasting and atrophy. Maria lived independently in the community prior to admission and the discharge plan is to return her home. Her goals are to return home and return to assisting her family at the family’s farmer’s market. The dual priorities are to wean her off of her trach as well as increase mobility and ADL independent function. For trach weaning, 14 days after admission, initial testing of the capping began. By 12/30, Maria was on a daily 3 hour capping schedule and as of 1/5/17, Maria’s capping schedule is 3 hours on, 3 hours off. Decannulation is planned for end of January. For PT and OT, the focus has been on increasing mobility and ADLs, enabling Maria to participate in life as fully as she did prior to her incident.
