Ten-year-old Margo is disabled due to a near drowning accident in a swimming pool. She received a settlement to provide for her ongoing care but was only able to obtain appropriate care in a skilled nursing facility in Orlando with a special wing for young patients. Her mother and siblings were with Margo in Orlando for a while, but then moved to Broward County to live at the grandmother's home after the father’s untimely death. MonarchCare then hired a Care Manager in Orlando to provide onsite services to Margo and work with her special education teacher.
Dealing with the distance between Margo and her family was a major focus of our commitment to improving Margo’s life. MonarchCare purchased a phone so Margo’s mother could stay informed and involved with her care. As a result of this story being told in one of our e-letters, we learned of a specialized facility here in South Florida that could treat Margo. In July, 2012 we coordinated her transfer from Orlando to North Miami. It is wonderful to see Margo’s face brighten when her mother visits.
