Self-care goals
63% of adult patients achieve or exceed their anticipated value of self-care upon discharge from Shepherd Center, compared to 62% nationally.
Mobility goals
70% of adult patients achieve or exceed their anticipated value of mobility upon discharge from Shepherd Center, compared to 62% nationally.
Mobility scores tell us how much help a patient needs with activities like sitting, standing, walking, using a wheelchair, or going up and down stairs. A physical therapist helps patients get better at doing these activities on their own. If the scores go up from when the patient first came in to when they left, it means the patient got better at doing these activities independently.
