Today, the residents of Village Shores came together to celebrate and thank Troy Foch PT for his dedication and care.

Troy has been a part of the Ascend Rehab and Village Shires community since January 2020, helping residents stay active, strong, and independent through his exceptional physical therapy work. We’re so grateful for all you do, Troy!

We recently received this heartfelt note and thoughtful gift from a patient who’s been working with our Ascend Rehab team through some very challenging months.

Their message of gratitude to Holly and our therapy team means the world to us — it’s a reminder of the compassion, skill, and heart our therapists bring to every session. Each item in the gift had a special meaning — from a candle “for bringing light on the toughest days” to apple butter and a journal symbolizing care and reflection.

Thank you to this patient/client for your kind words and trust — and thank you, Holly, for the extraordinary care you provide every day. 💛

🎉 October is National Physical Therapy Month! 🎉

At Ascend Rehab, we believe in the life-changing benefits of physical therapy for older adults. Physical therapy is not only for recovery. It helps build strength, improve balance, and maintain independence at every stage of aging.

This year’s theme, “PT For Future Me,” reminds us that the steps we take today support a stronger, more active tomorrow. Whether you’re healing from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply wanting to stay mobile, physical therapy helps you move and live better.

At Ascend Rehab, our therapists specialize in personalized care that helps seniors stay strong, steady, and confident every day.

Here’s to moving stronger, living fuller, and embracing every step of progress. 💪

Today we celebrate the Feast Day of our guiding saint, Saint Thérèse of Lisieux – the “Little Flower.” 🌸

Her “little way” shows us that the smallest gestures, offered with love, can make the greatest difference. May we carry her spirit of faith and kindness into all we do. 💜
