When Regan Phillips left hospital and moved into Clock Tower Mews in August 2016, he hadn’t walked since February of that year.
The staff team tried to encourage Regan to stand and walk but he simply wasn’t happy to do so and would loudly protest. His recovery looked to be a difficult task to achieve despite their best efforts. In January 2018 a new manager, Nick Jackson, started at the service and held further discussions with this young man’s family and staff. Nick made the bold claim that Regan would walk again with the help of everyone at Clock Tower Mews.
Fast forward two years and by June 2020 Regan had started to stand with staff support before walking with staff holding him gently. He got to a point where he would reach out to staff indicating that he wanted to walk with them. In June 2020, Nick gained a promotion and Julie Dacey took over as manager and therefore took up the mantle of assisting Regan to walk.
By the end of 2020 Regan was actually walking unaided, and is now happily walking around his home exploring things like he has never been able to do. All staff past and present have contributed to this journey despite the challenges and protests of Regan. We are sure he is so pleased to have gone through those difficult times with staff encouraging him, when he would have much rather laid on his settee listening to his music.
Ali Stubbings, Regan’s mum, said: ‘He’s doing amazing! I’m so proud of the team and all the effort that has been put into getting him up and on his feet again. It’s so incredible to see him doing it, all that hard work has paid off.’
This is a massive achievement from everyone associated with Clock Tower Mews over the last five years and a celebration of outstanding care and commitment.
