Moving from Mill Park Acute Rehab to Courtyard at Mt. Tabor assisted living

Waiting for dinner with Claire and me...

Clarke moved from Mill Park on Friday, and Nina and I followed with his stuff. He is settling into his room, which is quite spacious and has a nice view of greenery. His favourite things (desk + TV cabinet) were set up beforehand. He is still totally dependent upon his wheelchair, but has gotten quite adept and relatively speedy at manoeuvering!








The Courtyard at Mt. Tabor is at:
6323 SE Division.
His apartment is #207.
His Dr. Lowe will be seeing him on Monday, and physical therapy and occupational therapy will be working with him as well. The therapy will be less frequent than at Mill Park, at a schedule yet to be determined.
PS: Yesterday he wheeled in to join a mid-morning group, and the snack was fresh fruit tarts! He was very happy about that :)

Updating Capers by Clarke...

This is the end of the 3rd week in re-hab, and Clarke has been working hard. Just yesterday, he got clearance to transfer himself to and from wheelchair without supervision - one more step accomplished. He reports no pain in his ankle, and is no longer even needing Tylenol.

Reading get-well cards...

I have spent time looking at several different care facilities for him to go to when he is discharged from Mill Park in about 2 weeks, as he will still need a lot of support. They all have different pros and cons, but the Courtyard at Mt. Tabor, all things considered, seems the best fit. It is just minutes from home, on SE 62nd and Division. He's been having frequent visits from our PDXC community, which he has appreciated a lot. And visits from friends and family... a high point was a visit from Bruce bringing fresh crab cocktail! and Jessie and Rachel bringing Vietnamese lunch... Unfortunately, I have no photos, as I have not been there with my camera at the right time.
So the next update will probably be next week, as we'll get an update on  discharge schedule on Wednesday. He appreciates all the visits!
