JANICE STRAIT VISIT SCHEDULING

Event details

Dear family & friends,

I am writing to inform you that Janice has been transferred to Hillsdale County Medical Care Facility located at 140 W Mechanic Rd, Hillsdale, MI 49242. She is making incredible progress and we are hopeful she will return home after more rehabilitation. It is imperative that she continues working on her physical therapy and speech therapy routines in order to reach that goal. Community is a crucial aspect of her recovery and we are so grateful for the people in her life that are willing to help. Because of this, I am hoping we can figure out a schedule that works in order to make sure Janice has a familiar face and an advocate by her side each day to spread the love and help keep her on track.

Below are the tasks I would appreciate being done for her as you each find yourself able and available to:

-Engage in conversations that stimulate positive thinking and hope in order to keep her motivated.

-Refilling her humidifier.

-Make sure she has her hearing aids in and glasses on.

-Make sure phone is charged and accessible to her. She has a crossbody bag that she wears and the phone should be kept in it if possible.

-If you stay close to bedtime, please be sure to have her remove her hearing aids, glasses and dentures before bed.

-Janice is adamant about not having any whiskers or chin hairs. There are tweezers and a dermaplane facial razor for grooming.

-Do some rounds of tongue twisters (speech therapy) which are listed in the sign in journal and will be in the room on a laminated sheet.

-Do some rounds of Physical Therapy with her. These exercises will also be laminated on a sheet and in her room.

-Have her use the EMST (puffer). She should be doing 5 sets of 5 puffs each day totaling 25 puffs. Remove device after each short and strong puff in and breathe out slowly. Between each puff, Janice should wait 20 seconds in between each puff until puff number 5. If exceeding 5 puffs in one visit, Janice should wait 1 minute before starting the next set of 5.

-Squeezing her stress ball/sponge in her left hand to get mobility and strength back

-Encouraging Janice to use her left arm and hand. (I have been moving her arm and hand for her just to get some movement in)

-Please try to sit on her left as this encourages her to look left which is helpful practice in her recovery.

-If you have a meal with Janice please remind her to go slowly, sip liquids in between bites and follow up each meal with a rinsing and cleaning of her mouth to expel any food left behind.

-Lotion and massage each foot to reduce swelling and/or encourage her to elevate her feet. Her left hand would also benefit from this.

There is a journal with details on the tasks and a sign in page to track which tasks have been done and when. Please do your best to use sign up genie as well so we can track days that she has visitors versus not. The more we can show up for Janice and help her be diligent with her therapy tasks, the sooner she can go home!
