We have a resident here at Albany Lodge Nursing Home whose goal was to walk again after many years of not doing so. Just this last month it has happened!
Sandy has put in the hard work by insisting that she walks to the dining room each morning, which is quite far as her bedroom is at the end of the corridor. Doing this each morning is hard work, but Sandy is a very determined lady who will never give up when she is trying to achieve something.
Our physiotherapist has also been very determined alongside Sandy, and the staff have been helping Sandy’s efforts by supporting her to walk to the dining room each day. Sandy does not walk about all day, but by doing the process for short periods of time, she has gained confidence, strength, and improved her self-esteem.
We will continue to support Sandy in her goals, and hopefully, she will become stronger and even more confident in her ability to walk and be able to do this for longer periods of time. At Albany Lodge, we know it is very important to our residents to try to achieve their dreams and aspirations.
Sandy wanted to write this story to inspire others and to show that being at Albany Lodge has been a positive stay for her.
