Macrine's Physical Therapy Sessions and Her Home Health Aides


Blossom Ridge Home Health provides physical therapy services for Macrine three times a week. I am pleased with the services of Crystal, the physical therapist assigned to Macrine ( see photo). Crystal has a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. She is very knowledgeable with a very pleasant personality and really care for her patients. Also in the photo is Mele (Tonga-American), one of the four home health aides that David and I hired to help us take care of Macrine's needs.

There are days when Macrine feel good and she can walk more than 75 feet around the house. However, there are days when she could barely stand.

The physical therapy session has really helped her strengthen her legs muscles. The goal would be that she can walk with minimum supervision and hopefully we can go again to Thunder Valley Casino in the near future. Please continue your prayers for Macrine's complete recovery.

Lulu ( Mexican-American) is one of the Home health aide( Helping Hearts) that help Macrine on Wednesday and Fridays from 9AM to 1PM. Lulu also helps Macrine with her exercises and urge her to play the piano.

Macrine has another home health aide, Mindy( Partners-in Care), a Filipina-American who comes on Tuesday and Thursday from 9AM to 1PM.

Mindy also does some light housekeeping ( vacuuming and doing the laundry) when Macrine is taking a nap.

On weekends, besides Mele, we have Letty helped us.
