Resident Story

Ralph Garber, an indomitable spirit, recently marked the completion of his rehabilitation journey at Waterford Crossing, overcoming a challenging health ordeal. His journey began with two rounds of pneumonia and a severe reaction to a new medication, which affected his kidney function, leading to the initiation of dialysis. Before these health setbacks, Ralph led an active life operating a skid loader and working on the farm.

Upon arriving at Waterford Crossing, Ralph faced the challenge of weakened mobility and balance issues, making it difficult to walk with a cane.

His story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of dedicated therapy.
