Stroke Rehabilitation

Suffering a stroke can be a lifechanging and unexpected experience. It is imperative for recovery that the stroke survivors and their loved ones can understand the changes that a stroke can cause for their daily life, who they
are, and day-to-day tasks. Survivors will have to change and adjust to a new way of life, and a stroke rehabilitation nurse such as Glenn is specialized in assisting with the journey. Glenn will be there every step of the way, as the patient learns a new way of going about their daily life.

“Glenn noticed that the room my brother was placed in was not appropriate for a patient who had left-sided deficits. He informed the nursing staff and they agreed and moved him to a correct room. He also introduced mirror therapy as well as other rehab exercises that were not being performed at the rehabilitation hospital.” – Annie F.

“My brother who lives in Southern California suffered a CVA (stroke) recently. The CVA caused left hemiplegia and left facial droop. Upon Glenn’s first visit with my brother at the Rehabilitation Hospital, approximately one week after his stroke, Glenn noticed that the room my brother was placed in was not appropriate for a patient who had left-sided deficits. He informed the nursing staff and they agreed and moved him to a correct room. He also introduced mirror therapy as well as other rehab exercises that were not being performed at the rehabilitation hospital. Since being home, Glenn assisted my brother to walk downstairs and has encouraged him to walk without his walker. He is improving daily…Glenn’s ability to communicate with the family on the needs for continued rehabilitation at home has been excellent. Thank you Glenn.” – Annie F.
