At River Edge Rehabilitation, we are dedicated to helping our residents regain their independence and improve their quality of life. Joseph “Joe” Moss’s journey is a testament to the power of determination, positivity, and exceptional care. Admitted in early October after an ankle injury from a fall, Joe also faced challenges from an Acute Kidney Injury and severe weakness, preventing him from staying home alone.
The Road to Recovery Begins
Recognizing the urgency of his situation and HMO insurance limitations, Joe was eager to start rehabilitation immediately. He showed remarkable dedication by arriving at therapy every day at 5 AM, and his positive attitude significantly contributed to his progress.
From day one, our skilled therapy team crafted a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to Joe’s specific needs. As Joe worked diligently with his therapists, they adjusted his goals to match his progress. His determination for independence shone through, indicating he was on the path to a successful recovery.
Inspiring Progress
In less than two weeks, Joe made remarkable strides. He progressed from being unable to walk independently to ambulating an impressive 250-300 feet. More importantly, he regained the ability to perform all daily self-care activities independently. Joe’s progress reflects both his hard work and the collaboration with our dedicated therapy team.
As Joe prepared for his discharge in just three days, he expressed immense gratitude for the care he received at River Edge. “River Edge Therapy is the best decision I have ever made,” he remarked. The motivation and encouragement from the therapy team kept him inspired, and he looked forward to his daily sessions in the gym. His enthusiasm for his rehabilitation experience is a reminder of the importance of a supportive environment in the healing process.

Looking Ahead
As Joe prepares to return home, he plans to visit River Edge in the future to share his success story with others. He is eager to tell everyone about the exceptional care he received from our rehab staff, whom he considers the best in the field.
