Rehabilitation Length of Stay: 10 Days<\/strong> Admitting Diagnosis: <\/strong>Polyneuropathy; Charcot Joints; History of Falls A 69-year-old gentleman was admitted to Blueberry Hill Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center from Beverly Hospital for rehabilitation and skilled nursing with the goal to safely return home. Upon admission, Mr. F. was evaluated by and participated in skilled occupational and physical therapy where he was found to require maximum assistance for all self-care tasks, minimum assistance to transfer and contact guard assistance to ambulate 15 feet with the use of a rolling walker. He was found to have decreased balance and activity tolerance which increased his risk for falling and had a right lower extremity walking boot due to his Charcot foot making his challenge all the more compelling. He had a strong determination to return home and as he progressed with his therapy goals, he was able to participate in higher level functional activities. Upon discharge, Mr. F. was able to improve his ability to perform self-care tasks with between minimum and moderate assistance and was able to transfer and ambulate independently. We also started the process for him to obtain a new walking boot which he will receive when at home. He made some great gains toward his therapy goals and was able to return home with strong family support and Home Health Services.
