Client Success Stories

Stroke Rehabilitation

Restoring Independence After Stroke

How comprehensive home rehabilitation helped Mr. Okello regain mobility and independence

Client Profile

Mr. Okello, 62, experienced a severe stroke that left him with right-sided weakness, speech difficulties, and limited mobility. After initial hospital treatment, he was discharged home with significant functional limitations.

Challenges

Mr. Okello was unable to walk independently, had difficulty with daily activities like dressing and bathing, and struggled with speech and swallowing. His family was overwhelmed by his care needs and concerned about his recovery prospects.

Our Approach

Nivora implemented a comprehensive rehabilitation program including:

  • Physical therapy 5 times weekly focusing on mobility, balance, and strength
  • Speech therapy 3 times weekly addressing communication and swallowing
  • Occupational therapy to improve independence in daily activities
  • Nursing care for medication management and health monitoring
  • Family education and training
"When my father came home from the hospital, he couldn't walk or even feed himself. We were terrified about how to care for him. Nivora's team not only provided excellent rehabilitation but also taught us how to support his recovery. Three months later, he was walking with a cane and regaining his independence. The difference is miraculous."

— Sarah, Mr. Okello's daughter

Managing Diabetes Effectively at Home

How specialized home healthcare helped Mr. Mugisha stabilize his diabetes and prevent complications

Client Profile

Mr. Mugisha, 58, has type 2 diabetes with recurring complications including a non-healing foot ulcer and frequent episodes of hyperglycemia requiring emergency care.

Mr. Mugisha struggled with medication adherence, blood sugar monitoring, proper foot care, and dietary management. He had been hospitalized three times in six months due to diabetes-related complications.

Our Approach

  • Specialized foot care to promote wound healing and prevent new ulcers

— Mr. Mugisha
