Celeste Bologna's Story
Hello,
My name is Celeste Bologna. On Dec.5th of 2008, I had a stroke. I could
not use my left side, could not walk or dress myself. I could not use my
left hand or raise my arm. At 51 years of age, I had lost my independence.
On Jan. 28th, I became a resident of Adrian Manor Health and Rehabilitation Center. The staff at Adrian Manor were not just my caregivers and therapists, they became my friends. With constant encouragement from these new friends and my own motivation to move back home to Connecticut to be with my children and grandchildren, I quickly began to make progress.
On Feb. 28th, I left Adrian Manor able to care for myself. I can walk on my own without a walker. I can drive my car. I am completely independent. I've gone back to Adrian Manor many times since that day to visit my friends and to encourage others.
I will be returning to Connecticut in June to enjoy my children and
grandchildren, but I've told my family, "If I ever need to be cared for ,
I'm going back to Adrian Manor."
I want everyone to know that as hard as it is to recover from a stroke, I enjoyed my time at Adrian Manor and miss my friends. They treated me as a friend, giving thoughtful words of encouragement. They proved that people can return to a normal, independent life after a stroke. I know firsthand because I'm living that life.
