In December 2025, Susan presented to the Emergency Department with slurred speech, facial numbness, confusion. She was transferred to a higher level of care where imaging revealed a brain stem stroke.
Her hospital stay was complicated by swallowing difficulties, requiring placement of a feeding tube. Once stable, Susan was transferred to Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital in early January under the care of a rehab physician with intensive physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services.
Upon admission, Susan was able to eat only limited amounts of food by mouth, needed the help of 2 people to walk short distances, and required assistance for dressing and bathing. Through her determination, hard work, and sense of humor, she made significant progress. She and her husband utilized our ADL suite overnight to prepare for what it would be like at home and she was even able to take a field trip to a local coffee shop with her husband and therapists. Susan ultimately returned home with family support, eating a regular diet and with the ability to move and take care of herself independently.
Susan continued her rehabilitation journey with home health services following discharge from Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your care and recovery!

Did you know that nearly 80% of strokes may be prevented by managing certain risk factors?

Some stroke risk factors can be changed, such as smoking, physical activity, and managing conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. Others, including age and family history, cannot. Understanding the difference can help individuals and families take meaningful steps toward better health and recovery.
