Maria's Success Story
From Solara Specialty Hospital Brownsville
Maria, who suffers from acute ischemic heart disease, faced a significant health challenge that led to her spending several days at a local hospital in Brownsville, TX, for a scheduled procedure. Once stabilized, her medical team decided to transfer her to Solara Specialty Hospital Brownsville for advanced medical care, including wound care, respiratory treatment, and physical and occupational therapy.
Before her admission to Solara, a comprehensive care plan was meticulously crafted, tailored to Maria’s specific medical conditions. The primary goals were to provide advanced wound care and respiratory treatment. Upon her arrival, Maria's interdisciplinary team sprang into action, and Maria embraced her care plan with optimism and determination. Maria's admitting physician administered the appropriate antibiotics to combat any infections, which was crucial for her wound healing process. The dedicated wound care team attended to Maria's chest wounds, ensuring they healed properly to significantly improve her overall recovery.
The pulmonologist and respiratory team provided high-flow oxygen therapy to support both her wound care and the strengthening of her lung function. Maria also engaged in extensive physical therapy sessions aimed at enhancing her muscular endurance and mobility. She embraced her occupational therapy sessions, relearning essential tasks such as self-care, which she had previously taken for granted.
During her two-month stay at Solara, Maria made remarkable strides in her recovery. Her wounds healed over 75%, and she regained the ability to walk over 100 feet with a walker. Maria could perform general activities of daily living (ADLs) and self-care tasks, such as transferring from bed to chair and chair to walker, with ease. Having surpassed all the goals set in her care plan and no longer requiring supplemental oxygen, Maria was discharged to a lower level of care, where she continues her rehabilitation and outpatient wound care. The entire team at Solara Specialty Hospital wishes Maria the best in her ongoing recovery journey.
Care for Complex Conditions
Patients come to our hospitals with serious conditions such as respiratory failure, complex wounds, sepsis, stroke, congestive heart failure, or even a combination of these. Their diagnoses are often complicated by existing health problems like diabetes or COPD. Many of our patients require treatments such as mechanical ventilators, dialysis, or IV therapy.
