Inpatient and Outpatient Rehabilitative Services

Making a Difference

Physical Therapy

People with neuromuscular or skeletal dysfunction often benefit from physical therapy.
After being evaluated by a therapist, the patient works with the therapist to implement a personalized treatment program to help the individual regain his or her highest possible level of function. This program may include:

  • specific exercises to help increase muscle function, coordination, endurance and mobility.
  • training to improve bed mobility, gait stability, posture and positioning.
  • mobilization of joints and soft tissue to increase range of motion.
  • wound care.
  • training with adaptive equipment.

Occupational Therapy

Through appropriate therapeutic activities, occupational therapists assist individuals in adapting to their social and physical environment. By adapting tasks and modifying the surroundings, residents and
patients regain confidence
as they improve their ability to function.
Services may include:

  • education and training in daily living skills such as dressing, bathing, eating and grooming.
  • activities for memory, orientation and cognitive integration.
  • adaptive techniques or equipment to overcome physical disabilities.
  • exercises to increase strength and coordination.
  • exercises to maintain normal joint movement by reducing the effects of arthritis and other conditions.

Speech-LanguagePathology

Therapists aid people in recovering speech, language and swallowing functions as well as memory by helping address problems with communication and swallowing dysfunction. Treatment plans are designed to focus on each person’s needs, such as:

  • verbal and non-verbal communication, including the use of augmentative systems when necessary.
  • oral muscle strength and functioning for speaking and swallowing.
  • swallowing skills and techniques within an individual’s limitations:
  • compensate for word-finding problems.
  • learn listening strategies.
  • overcome swallowing disorders.
