Case Study: #BV-101

I reviewed one of my patients' that started out in Bella Vista Manor not doing well and after choking he developed swallowing problems and weight loss as well. He was then admitted to the hospital. A swallow study in the hospital determined that there was numbness in his esophagus.

A PEB tube was put in and he began to rehab at Northpoint and soon after returned to Bella Vista Manor with a PEG tube.

He has improved so much that ne now resides at Bella Vista. His PEG tube was removed and still does not have any swallowing problems. He likes to cook and prepare most of his own meals. The staff at Bella Vista provides him with assistance with showering, TED hose, and medication management.

While attending Bella Vista, he likes to walk around using his walker to stay active as well as a variety of exercises he does in and out of his room.

The care givers at Bella Vista give him the attention and care he needs. He says he is “very satisfied living at Bella Vista.”

Case Study #BVM-102

I reviewed a patient that came to Bella Vista Manor from her home with her husband. Conditions in her household were not good. They had a dog that was not cared for and urinated throughout the house. She spent most of the day lying in bed and isolated from any outside sources.

She was frequently incontinent of urine and had decubiti. She was not easting properly and was diagnosed with failure to thrive upon admission and entered Hospice through Allay. She recently “graduated” from Hospice and she and her husband moved into Bella Vista Manor.

She walks frequently around Bella Vista Manor behind her wheelchair, accompanied by her husband. She also comes out and socializes during meals.

Her niece saw her aunt live in her un-kept lifestyle without regards for herself or her surroundings and can now see a great turnaround with the move to Bella Vista Manor. Her niece stated that she is now living in a neat environment, eating regular meals, and interacting with other residents and staff.

“She has regained her self-esteem due to the care and concern of the remarkable staff at Bella Vista”, said her niece.
