Physical Therapy focuses on strengthening the lower extremities and restoring the patient’s maximum levels of function. Since an injury may require new means, or levels of mobility, we provide care giver training to facilitate the greatest means of support for returning to the home environment.

Occupational Therapy is to strengthen the upper body, and to assist elders in functioning at their maximum potential for as long as possible. Strength and range of motion have far flung ramifications. Even a small improvement can have an overwhelming positive impact, again making it possible for the person to do their daily routines.

Speech Therapists evaluate a person’s thought processes, speech and swallowing ability after a trauma. By working quickly and intensely, much of the loss can be regained.

In some cases of discharge to the home, Home Visits for the elder are carried out by our therapists to evaluate any need for equipment i.e. safety bars or rails, stairways, width of doors, household hazards and bathing facilities. Once the evaluation is complete and the equipment is installed, the therapists may take the elder home and help them practice moving about. In this way, the return home is smooth and as accident free as possible.
