Rehabilitative/Restorative Services include: Physical Therapy Each person's needs are different. Often the changes brought on by advancing years, an illness or an accident, call for specialized rehabilitation approaches. Throughout our rehabilitation program, the emphasis is on maximizing people's abilities and independence, and returning them back home, whenever possible. Under the direction of the individual's personal physician, rehabilitation programs are designed and implemented. Specially trained therapists, nurses, and nursing assistants use goal-oriented methods to promote independence. After the formal therapy program has concluded, the restorative nursing staff continues the work and encouragement. Physical therapists work with residents to decrease pain and improve their strength, endurance, balance and ambulatory skills. This will permit residents to improve their ability to walk, get in and out of bed, as well as up and down stairs. Occupational therapists teach the skills of independent living, including dressing, personal hygiene, the use of adaptive equipment and homemaking. Speech therapists assist residents in regaining speech and language skills and the ability to swallow. We're here to help you --
