Therapy Success Story: Meet Evelyn!

Evelyn calls Lowry Hills home, and her beautiful smile and lively personality draw you in instantly. With a great sense of humor and a love for joking with others, she radiates optimism and resilience qualities likely strengthened by her experiences as an individual who is deaf. She has shown incredible patience and generosity in teaching our team American Sign Language.

Though Evelyn has faced significant health challenges, she has made tremendous literal and figurative strides in therapy to improve her safety and independence. Before beginning therapy, Evelyn preferred to stay in bed, and staff needed a mechanical lift to help her safely transfer to her chair. Limited by pain and weakness, she relied on others for dressing, hygiene, and movement.

Thanks to her hard work and dedication alongside the expert support of Zeynep, Occupational Therapist, and Jay, Physical Therapist.  Evelyn’s progress has been remarkable. She now transfers with minimal assistance using her walker, walks short distances, dresses herself, and spends several hours each day out of bed.

Today, Evelyn’s quality of life has soared! She’s become a true social butterfly full of energy, joy, and laughter. She attends therapy groups, never misses The Price is Right, competes enthusiastically in games (trust us, you’ll want her on your team!), and enjoys every sweet treat that comes her way.

Evelyn’s journey is a shining example of how perseverance, positivity, and teamwork can transform lives.
