Rehabilitation Services

It is the philosophy that rehabilitation facilitates self-management, independence and personal responsibility for the resident, making rehabilitation a vital part of a residents recovery.

Our rehabilitation staff may work with residents who have had a stroke, bone fracture, amputation, swallowing difficulty or just general decline and weakness in mental/physical functioning.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists work with resident needs for independence as they go about their activities of daily living. Occupational Therapy assists the resident in becoming as independent as possible with bathing, dressing, grooming, feeding, toileting and functional mobility. Adapting the environment and or teaching the use of specialized equipment maybe are necessary to do this.

Speech Therapy

Our Speech – Language Pathologist works with the resident to resolve problems in speech production, expressive and receptive language, memory, higher-level thinking and swallowing.

Communication disorders can isolate an individual and may prevent them from telling staff and family their wants and needs. Swallowing Difficulties or dysphasia, places the resident at risk for aspiration pneumonia, weight loss, weakness and dementia like symptoms.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy addresses the physical needs of the residents, such as ambulation (walking), transfers (getting in and out of bed, the bathroom, etc…), balance, strengthening and increasing tolerance to these many activities.
