Commonly practiced after a serious injury or joint replacement, physical therapy helps guests speed up the recovery process. By working with our experienced team, they’re able to regain strength and improve mobility, balance, and flexibility, as well as manage pain from chronic conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis.
Conditions that affect communication, swallowing or cognitive skills, such as attention or memory problems, are addressed through safe techniques that decrease the risk of choking while eating and drinking. Speech therapy can also be recommended if you have difficulty communicating, hearing, swallowing or eating.
For residents who need assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), occupational therapy is vital to recovery from an injury, illness or stroke. It enables seniors to participate in everyday tasks like bathing, dressing and eating by using adaptive equipment to enhance fine motor skills, which can also help with the early stages of memory loss.
