“I would strongly encourage anyone in need of acute rehabilitation to utilize the services of the Midlands Regional Rehabilitation Hospital (MRRH). I suffered an acute ischemic stroke in July, which resulted in deficits to my right side and severe problems with my speech.

Following my hospital stay with Lexington Medical Center, I was admitted to MRRH for two weeks as an inpatient to receive extensive physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. During my stay, I made significant improvements, such as in my ability to walk without assistance, better control of my right hand, and improved speech. Before my stay at MRRH, I suffered from an uneven gait, had very little use of my right hand, and my speech was limited to mainly the names of family members and a few common automatic phrases.

I am still a work in progress, but I am improving steadily each day. At the point of this writing, I am continuing therapy twice a week as an outpatient at MRRH. The rehabilitation experts there have helped me to regain much of my daily life before the stroke and to develop strategies for the ‘new normal’ post-stroke. I cannot recommend them highly enough if you are in need of rehabilitation services.”
