Michael D.

Michael, Guest at The Laurels, knew his first choice right away when looking for a Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility after a bone infection left him a double amputee- "I stayed at The Laurels of Coldwater a few months prior and already knew how great their Therapy Department and nursing care was, choosing The Laurels was a no brainer!" The physical and occupational therapy Michael has received during his stay has built his overall strength tremendously, Michael is especially impressed with his increased upper body strength and ability to navigate in his wheelchair with ease. Michael has been working diligently with his therapist, Melissa, and will be walking with his prosthetic legs proficiently in the near future. Upon discharge, Michael is looking forward to getting back into the workforce and states he'll never forget the "friendly and comfortable environment" he's experienced during his stay at The Laurels of Coldwater.

Clarence W.

Clarence, a recent guest at The Laurels, is happy to be back in Branch County after an eventful return from Florida in April. One afternoon, after receiving chemotherapy for lung cancer in Jackson, Clarence suffered a stroke while doing yard work. Shortly after the stroke, Clarence was transferred to the Laurels for rehab to rebuild his strength. Clarence and his favorite therapist, Penny, meet each morning around 6AM, which Clarence states he enjoys because "it gets my day going, and she really works me good, then I can go on with my day." He's now able to walk again, with the assistance of his of his walker, and is getting stronger each day.

Clarence has rebuilt enough strength to resume his chemotherapy and is overjoyed to be returning home to his wife, Elaine. The couple will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary in July and are looking forward to being able to resume helping their children with the campground they own in Leonidas and tending to their garden together.

Renee J.

When Renee admitted to The Laurels in April 2016, she planned on being a permanent long-term care resident as the stroke she had in March left her quite debilitated. however, Renee received Occupational and Physical Therapy during her stay which helped to build her strength enough so that she is now able to walk with assistance of a walker, write her name legibly and relearned how to do activities of daily living independently. Recently, she discharged to an independant living community and feels that her expectations during her stay have been exceeded by the staff at The Laurels.

When asked if she had any words of wisdom for a new guest, Renee said, "occupational and physical therapy are tough but if you try your hardest it will work." Renee would like to thank Therapists Matt Graeber, Gina Bressler, Josh Stratton, and Toni Crawford for helping her regain her strength and independence!
