Knute Nelson Home Health Care: A Beacon of Hope

The story of an amazing recovery through in-home physical therapy

As Jay Walter struggled with ANCA vasculitis, a rare and debilitating autoimmune disease, he found the lifestyle he knew and cherished hanging in the balance. What started with immobilized hands and feet eventually confined him to a wheelchair. From there, the road to recovery was estimated to take two to five years of consistent physical therapy.

That’s when Jay’s journey crossed paths with Knute Nelson Home Health Care. In Jay’s words, “before I started recovering, I couldn’t do anything.”

Although the path to progress would require consistent physical therapy, Jay was determined to regain his independence and return to making meaningful memories with his grandchildren. Through Knute Nelson’s in-home physical therapy services, his recovery was now possible from the comfort of home.

If you ask the families and loved ones we have served, our caring and dependable staff is what sets Knute Nelson apart. Through a home health care staff of registered nurses, home health aides, and therapists, we ensure coordinated care. Meanwhile, our efforts are grounded in experience, compassion, and dignity.

Through his work with our occupational and physical therapists, Jay began to form relationships built on trust and mutual respect. In his experience, “the staff at Knute Nelson has been fantastic to me. They are kind, understanding, and patient.”
