Post-Acute Rehabilitation
Why Post-Acute Rehabilitation?
Specialized Therapy
We use a multidisciplinary therapy approach to ensure our residents have a recovery plan tailored to their needs.
The primary goal of our physical therapists is to assess and establish a treatment program to improve strength, endurance, mobility, function, and relieve pain. The PT programs are tailored to the needs of your loved one to ensure they are successful in achieving maximum physical function. Some aspects of our PT program include:
- Neuromuscular interventions which can include static/dynamic balance for sitting and standing activities to decrease falls and prevent further injuries
- Intense training in the areas of bed mobility, transfers, and gait to enhance mobility and function 12% of our staff have been with us for more than 15 years
- Musculoskeletal system interventions that aim to reduce inflammation and improve strength for individuals suffering from tendonitis, sprains, fractures, and arthritis
- Amputation intervention which includes pre-prosthetic training and prosthetic training
Sometimes it’s the simple activities of life that become the biggest challenges after surgery such as taking a shower or getting dressed. Having our daily activities interrupted by health complications can be hard to deal with practically as well as emotionally. Our Occupational Therapists understand this and use goal-directed activities to evaluate the daily living skills our residents need to fully function in their home, work, and/or community within an environment of patience and compassion.
Our Occupational Therapist and Occupational Therapy Assistants develop and implement the following:
- Activities for daily living skills such as dressing, bathing, eating and grooming
- Sensorimotor intervention to improve strength, endurance, range of motion, coordination, and balance
- Therapeutic activities for memory, orientation, cognitive integration, and daily living skills
- Perceptual testing and training to maximize functional abilities and safety
- Splint fabrication
- Feeding assessments to establish adaptive equipment needs to maximize functional ability
- Skilled recommendations for seating and positioning devices
- Community re-integration skills and Environmental Adaptations
