Margaret, “Maggie”, is a vibrant woman who came to the Meadows after experiencing a stroke. Maggie was home and was healing from previous surgeries and injuries when she woke up one morning unable to move her left arm. Prior to her stroke, Maggie was independent with her daily tasks including walking, dressing, and bathing. She worked hard during her 2 week stay at the Meadows
and met her goal of returning home. Though her progression continues, she remains motivated and will receive therapy in the home.
The Meadows has “always been a part of my family.” Maggie’s grandmother, Hilda Lanning, was the first resident at the Meadows Skilled Nursing Center. Maggie’s mother then volunteered here after her mother, Hilda’s, stay and later was a resident herself. Maggie’s sister also worked as a nurse at the Meadows for a few years. Maggie states, “Everybody is willing to do for you and help you. The girls down here (in therapy) are wonderful.” Mike is Ace! He put a smile on my face every day! Everybody was very helpful.”
