Manor of the Plains
FEBRUARY 2023
Annual Angel Tree campaign a success We’re excited to announce that Manor of the Plains exceeded their Angel Tree goal of $10,370!
On-campus therapists help residents improve function, achieve independence
This year’s memorial ornament was a red cardinal, and it was incredible to see the tree covered with all of these beautiful red birds. Thank you for all your donations. A gift to the Angel Tree campaign supports the Good Samaritan Program which provides funding to assist residents who outlive their financial resources through no fault of their own.
Thanks to a partnership with Aegis Therapies, Manor of the Plains residents who have suffered an injury or have otherwise had their day-to-day activities impeded by a physical ailment have easy access to the knowledge and experience of trained professionals who can help get them back on a path to recovery. Occupational Therapist Alyssa Lewis and Physical Therapist Jie (pronounced “Jay”) Hao each bring unique perspectives to Occupational Therapist Alyssa their work but they both work toward a Lewis common goal.
Our residents will truly benefit from this generous blessing, thank you! u
“The goal is to benefit the patients by not only helping them return to their prior level of function for a safe return home and/or improve overall functional performance to maximize safety and independence in the facility, but to also provide a relationship where they feel met and understood on their level,” said Alyssa. To increase the individualized, patientspecific care she provides, Alyssa recently received her lymphedema certification. It enables her to use manual therapy to decrease a patient’s swelling following a surgery or injury.
