Feels like summer at ACLC! Residents and staff had a blast throwing water balloons and shooting water guns in the summer sunshine. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed fresh fruit on the patio. We love to have fun at ACLC and especially appreciate our time outside.

Ms. Carol Kirk came to Abundant Christian Living Community Rehabilitation Center following a hospital stay resulting in a decline in function. Upon admission, she presented with difficulties with transfers, walking, and performing daily activities impacting her level of independence.
Ms. Kirk worked hard and participated in a challenging rehab program focusing on increasing her strength, mobility, balance, safety, and overall endurance. She is happy with her progress with progressing to being independent with transfers, walking and dressing and she states, “Therapy has helped me so much. The first few days I could not get out of bed by myself. I’m now stronger, and my balance has improved. They taught me how to walk and transfer independently again. I’m also now independent with getting out of bed, getting in and out of a car and Occupational Therapy taught me how to dress without pain. I feel like all the therapists were like family. They truly cared about me and encouraged me so much.”
Ms. Kirk was happy to return home so she could get back to her church and sing in the choir. She enjoys staying active and going to the Senior Center with her husband, Mike. She is also looking forward to spending time with her children and four grandchildren.
