Patrick McMenamin

Patrick experienced a stroke that resulted in right-sided weakness in his arm and leg, as well as difficulty with transfers, mobility, swallowing, and speech. After months of intensive rehabilitation, he has made significant progress. Patrick regained function in his right hand, allowing him to eat, dress, and play Bingo more independently. He also built notable strength in his right leg and progressed to taking steps with a walker. Patrick achieved several important goals, including eating safely, telling stories about his experiences in Ireland and El Salvador, and recalling his fellow residents' names. He is proud to return to the activities he loves most and continues to work hard toward achieving all of his goals.
