Danny’s Story: Stroke Recovery

Meet Danny! After experiencing a stroke in 2025, Danny spent 5 weeks in and out of the ICU before coming to Sheltering Arms Institute for our inpatient stroke rehabilitation program.

Danny’s stroke affected the left side of his body, his eyesight, and his cognitive abilities, so he had to relearn how to stand, walk, feed himself, and navigate his surroundings. As he prepared for life after inpatient rehab, Danny and his family also worked closely with our community engagement team to identify programs that would allow him to pursue both new and familiar hobbies back home in Virginia Beach.

It wasn’t easy, but with the support of his dedicated care team and our advanced rehabilitation technology, Danny learned to walk again, one step at a time, and achieved his goal of attending his daughter’s graduation! Feeling supported as a family mattered deeply to Danny. “The nurses and therapists have all aided my family and me in having hope. And that’s a win for all of us,” he shared.

We’re so proud of how far you’ve come, Danny, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for your future!
