Thanks to the FOX Rehabilitation team at the Birches of Newtown, I now experience significantly decreased anxiety, increased self-trustworthiness, increased independence, and overall improved mental and physical strength. I used to have a 1:1 caregiver 7 days a week when I first moved into the Birches, and now I am living in an apartment independently. With the help of my Speech-Language Pathologist my memory and word recall has significantly improved, and I am able to have conversations regarding all topics with anyone I encounter. Instead of feeling timid, as I once did, I feel that my social skills have vastly improved within this community and I have become more outgoing. I feel that I am less confused and now able to make and keep my own schedules, and can appropriately organize my personal items and belongings. All of my friends have noticed the improvements I have made, and my son told me that he “has his mom back”. I once was scared to death of being lost within myself, but now I feel GREAT!
