“Not just a patient; he was a person worth fighting for.”

Jackie G., our patient’s wife says the following about his treatment with Rehab Without Walls, “In May 2024, my husband Craig G. suffered a devastating stroke. It struck without warning, landing him in the ICU for over two weeks. Those days blurred into a haze of beeping monitors and hopeless prognoses. When he finally stabilized, the hospital delivered a gut punch; they recommended hospice. I brought him home preparing myself for the worst, convinced his time was slipping away. But Craig defied the odds. Slowly, stubbornly, he began to recover.

With that sliver of hope came a new challenge – his mobility. Bedridden and weak, he needed more than hospice could offer. Physical therapy became our lifeline, but home hospice provided no roadmap, no referral. We were on our own. Desperate, I stumbled across Rehab Without Walls and took a leap of faith with a single phone call. Their response surprised me. ‘We usually get referrals,’ they said, ‘but your story doesn’t scare us.’ They didn’t just listen, they acted. They contacted our doctor, wrangled insurance approvals, and stepped into our lives when we needed them most.

When their team first arrived, Craig couldn’t even leave his bed. That didn’t faze them. Speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy – they dove in with all three, undeterred by his fragility. After a month, progress emerged. He wasn’t just a patient to them; he was a person worth fighting for. Then came a turning point. Our case manager, Jenna Milburn, saw untapped potential. “Acute rehab could change everything,” she told me. I didn’t know what that meant, but Jenna did. She hit the phones, calling facility after facility, pleading our unusual case of a man from home hospice seeking a second chance. Most doors closed. Then Renown Rehab said yes. It felt like a miracle.

Craig spent five weeks there, rebuilding strength I’d feared was lost forever. When he came home, Rehab Without Walls didn’t miss a beat and picked right back up, pushing him further. Months later, his improvement stuns me. He’s not just surviving; he’s living.

Rehab Without Walls doesn’t just provide care; they redefine it. Their therapists, their staff, and their relentless dedication are among the finest people I’ve ever known. They turned our despair into hope, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.”
