Introducing our new Think Thin program (checkout this fun shirt made by one of our DORs) for speech therapy – doing what we can to get patients off of thickened liquids to decrease dehydration and improve quality of life. Cool example of how our people never stop looking for ways to make a difference and don’t just keep going down the same old calf path!

Jeremy Bowen from Coronado Skills shares, "We held our annual skills fair with the staff and set the theme as a county fair since COVID busted our tradition of a county fair. Great creativity and fun by all the team. Staff enjoyed themselves! Grateful for all that contributed with deep-fried fair food and dress-ups. It eased the pain of the COVID monthly test and flu shots for our staff"

"I just wanted to reach out and thank our awesome staff for attending our All Staff Meeting today as a special guest came to address and say goodbye to “his new friends” Before he discharged today at 2:30, one of our male residents wanted to personally thank our staff for his care here at Sloan’s Lake. He shared his story about being hospitalized for what was classified as a broken neck after collapsing in public some time ago. He thought he was going to die and when they told him about rehab, his heart sank with fear as he lived alone and knew no one. In addition to losing his wife a year ago he also was very anxious about the COVID scare. After placing him with our amazing therapy team and nursing staff to teach him how to live again, he is able to go home today. Today at all staff, with tears streaming down his cheeks, he wanted to thank everyone for what they have done for him. He thanked everyone who had a hand in his recovery, from housekeeping to Nurses. He spoke from his heart about the friends he had made and the smiles he received every day. He talked about the importance of encouraging him to get better and try harder. To push and to stay positive. He loved his time here and hated to leave. When I looked around the room there wasn’t a dry eye. Our staff truly felt the love and power behind his message. Many staff members left humbled as they were reminded once again of the important role they play in a residents life while working in Healthcare. We are so blessed to be able to serve our fellow man every day. Great work Team Sloan’s" -Sent in by Sam Hewson, Operations Manager at Sloan's Lake

Celebrating our Patient’s Success
This is our skilled rehab patient, Mr. Hammond. He has been at our facility for two weeks for a broken hip. He made good progress and reached his goals just in time for his 88th birthday. Our rehab department went out and got him a card and a pecan pie (his favorite) to celebrate his birthday, which happened to be the same day as his last therapy session. Our entire gym surprised him and sang happy birthday which brought him to tears. He said, “Thank you for making me feel so special on my birthday.”
