Cheryl McKinney calls Majestic Care of Avon home. She transferred to us from another facility to be closer to friends and family.  At her previous facility, she was wheelchair bound, unable to ambulate with walker, unable to complete ADLs  without extensive services and somewhat bed bound.

Within the first few days of arrival at Majestic Care of Avon, Cheryl was evaluated by Reliant Rehabilitation’s Physical Therapy Department to improve strength, mobility and decrease overall level of care. She was very motivated in improving her current condition and becoming mobile again. Physical Therapy’s main goal was to improve Cheryl’s quality of life by making her stronger in every way possible.

When we launched Majestic Care, we aimed to transform the current model of skilled care for our residents and those who work for them.
