Success Stories

FOX patient and stroke survivor Carl Haydel, 59, with his fiance Rachel Dingle

What is the true measure of success?

For FOX patients and clients, it can be the confidence to move through life with greater independence, the peacefulness that comes from overcoming challenges, or the wellness to support a vibrant future. These goals are what FOX clinicians fight for—to help older and aging adults live better, longer. Check out some of our patient success stories to see how achieving optimal function can create the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling life.

    Thanks to my FOX OT, Mary, I can take care of myself, do my own laundry, and keep things organized. Thanks to my nurses at Brookdale—I can take care of my own medications. In fact, I’ve gotten so good at taking care of myself that I am finally living out on my own! These are my new house keys! I made it!

    I was skeptical at first, but my therapist proved to me very quickly how necessary therapy is to stay safe and strong. Thanks to FOX OT, I can now get dressed and put my shoes on and shower by myself. I feel much safer with my medicine and have less confusion.

    I feel very fortunate that FOX sent Courtney to help me. I was very weak and had fallen 2-3 times and had poor balance. I was very insecure, particularly with walking the dog. With her help and encouragement (Courtney never gave up!) I have more energy, feel great about my balance, and can walk the dog around the complex 3 times daily—3/4 mile each time. With her help and encouragement (Courtney never gave up!)

    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!

    Donald Foster

    On February 14, 2015, Donald was given two weeks to live. He was sent home under hospice. When he did not pass, and was stabilized, hospice left. It was through the coordinated efforts of his caregivers, private doctor, and his FOX Exercise Physiologist, Donald has not only lived past his life expectancy, but was also able to attend his grandson’s wedding! Donald now lives each week looking forward to his sessions with his FOX Exercise Physiologist and his next goal—to live to 90, next April! Thank you everyone!

    Thanks to FOX Rehab’s EP Program, I was strong enough to go to my grandson’s wedding!

    When I first moved into an Assisted Living Facility, I felt insecure. There were a lot of things I couldn’t do. I was walking with a fear of falling and taking short strides. After working with FOX and participating in the Strength, Mobility, Balance Exercise Classes, I felt more confident with my walking; more secure. My quality of life improved and I was more comfortable with myself.

    My balance and walking has improved!!!
