🌟 Success Story Spotlight! 🌟

We’re so proud to celebrate Ms. Remell Pielach’s incredible journey here at Cottage of the Shoals! 💪

After being admitted for skilled rehabilitation on September 25, 2025, Ms. Pielach worked hard alongside our amazing therapy team to regain her strength, balance, and independence. Through determination and consistent effort, she progressed from needing moderate assistance to walking over 200 feet independently without an assistive device! 🙌

On October 24, 2025, Ms. Pielach successfully met all her therapy goals and was discharged home — fully independent and ready to return to her prior level of function. 🏡✨

Her story is a true testament to perseverance, hard work, and the supportive care environment at Cottage of the Shoals. ❤️

“The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”

👏 Congratulations, Ms. Pielach! We’re so proud of you! 👏
