What began as routine physical therapy became something far more meaningful for Betty Griffin. Because of your support, Betty’s care team was able to look beyond her symptoms. As a result, she was connected to additional services. These services restored her health, independence and sense of purpose.

“I feel like I’ve literally been given a second chance,” Betty says. “I’ve got my strength back, my memory back and my life back.”

After the sudden loss of her husband, Betty’s health declined quickly. She grew weaker, experienced stroke-like symptoms and struggled to progress in therapy.

Betty’s physical therapist connected her with Senior Life Solutions to help her through her grief. She also encouraged Betty to seek additional medical evaluation.

That collaboration led to the discovery that Betty was having a severe reaction to her medication. Within days of changing her treatment, she began to regain her strength.

“They didn’t see me as just a patient, they cared about me as a person,” she says. “That made all the difference.”

With continued therapy and encouragement, Betty even avoided a second knee replacement. She’s returned to the activities she loves. Your generosity makes comprehensive, compassionate care possible in Irvine.
