Margaret’s recovery was supported by a combination of physical therapy, speech therapy, and regular medical assessments. Our state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated staff members provided her with the tools and support necessary to make steady progress. Each small victory in her rehabilitation was celebrated as a major milestone.

The Role of Community:

Recovery is not just about physical health; it’s about feeling connected and supported. Margaret found a community of staff and fellow residents who cheered her on every step of the way, making her journey less daunting. Group activities and social events at Desert Ridge played a crucial role in keeping her spirits high.
