Case Study: #LS-101

I am very pleased with the progress one of the patients has made since she was admitted to Lakeshore Manor, Oshkosh.

I saw her in late June of 2009 when she was hospitalized at St. Agnes Hospital Behavioral Department. At that time, she was doing poorly. She was drowsy and followed only minimal commands. Her speech was very hard to understand. She would cry when she was approached and she could not walk.

Following that hospitalization, she was admitted to Lakeshore Manor Alzheimer’s/Memory Care and Assisted Living. I saw her for follow-up in my office on September 8, 2009. She was able to ambulate with a walker and some assistance. She has not had any seizure activity and her behavior was much improved with no agitation. She was cooperative and her mood was good. Her speech was only mildly dysarthric.

It is hard to believe how much better she has become! I believe that the care and environment at Lakeshore Manor provided a very positive and healing effect on her condition.

I want to praise the wonderful job the team at Lakeshore Manor has done for her.

Sincerely,

Dr. Xian F. Gu, M.D.,

Case Study: #LS-102

I am writing in regards to one of my patients who has been residing at Lakeshore Manor, Oshkosh, WI for the past couple of years.

She is 84 years old with a history of coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, dementia, hypothyroidism, hiatal hernia, and GI (gastro intestinal) bleeding, amongst other problems. Keeping her out of the hospital was a difficult task between 2005 and 2007. During that time, she was hospitalized on 5 different occasions. When she was home, she was having significant problems with complying with her medications and getting enough help in the home.

Since her move to Lakeshore Manor, two and a half years ago, she has not required a single hospitalization.

I have seen her in the office repeatedly since she has been at Lakeshore Manor. She has lost weight on the healthy diet that she receives there. She is very happy and medically, has been quite stable. I could not be more delighted with how well she has done under the care at Lakeshore Manor.

This is a real success story! Having a patient going from 5 hospitalizations over a matter of a year and a half to no hospitalizations over the last two and a half years is a testimony to the excellent care that she receives at Lakeshore Manor.

Thank you for a job well done!

Sincerely,

Dr. Curtis D. Radford, M.D.,
