Moments of Truth - Orem Rehabilitation and Nursing Center
Carole was one of our residents at Orem Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. She was working full-time and running her home when a fall down stairs caused her an injury leaving her with the inability to move any part of her body except for her head and hands (not her fingers.) She was understandably emotional regarding her condition and needed physical and moral support. Jeff Harper, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant, worked with Carole in therapy and also successfully negotiated with home health companies to provide her with a powered wheelchair. When Carole was transferred to a hospital due to complications, Jeff continued to follow up and volunteered to help build a wheelchair ramp at her home. On a Saturday morning, Jeff drove 40 minutes to Carole’s house and with other volunteers, built a ramp for Carole’s wheelchair. Jeff didn’t tell anyone what he had done, but we found out! He is still visiting Carole as she transitions to her new life. Thank you, Jeff, for giving from your heart.
