Skilled Services

Our physical therapists take care of patients in all phases of healing, from initial diagnosis through the restorative and preventive stages of recovery.

A physical therapist provides treatment and instruction to help restore a patient to his/her highest level of function. Therapy may focus on overall strengthening, or on a specific problem caused by an injury, illness or surgery. Instruction is also given to family members who are encouraged to participate in the treatment plan.

Our team understands the benefits of physical therapy and its ability to take advantage of the body’s natural healing ability. Through the use of exercise and carefully designed activities, we educate our patients to use their own body’s abilities to restore healing and capacity within themselves.

Physical therapists perform a variety of services:

• Evaluate injuries and develop a plan of care
• Educate clients about health, wellness, and safety
• Provide manual therapies (e.g., massage and joint mobilization)
• Use physical agents, such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation
• Manage pain and direct therapeutic exercise
• Train patients in daily living activities

Speech and language pathologists help patients who have communication difficulties, cognition disorders (problems processing information in the brain) or swallowing disorders.

We specialize in treating speech, cognitive, communication and swallowing disorders. Outside of this, we offer a wide range of services. Our speech pathologists work closely with our staff to address each client’s health problems. We do so prioritizing our patients’ quality of life and wellness as paramount.

Vocal cords tend to become less elastic as they age and the larynx muscles can become weakened. This can make it difficult to speak or communicate in a normal fashion. Speech therapy can help seniors to re-learn how to speak, and will also provide vocal exercises to further facilitate this.

Speech pathologists are trained at helping seniors recover or improve their communication skills, which is often minimized due to injury, stroke, Alzheimer’s or senility. Speech pathologists can also provide eating-related therapies, such as techniques to improve chewing or swallowing.

It can be beneficial for those who are suffering from dementia to undergo speech therapy. This can help to preserve brain function associated with communication. In cases of dementia, speech therapy can help by addressing the cognitive aspects of communication, including attention, memory, and problem solving.

Our personnel are carefully trained to look after both clients and their families, creating an all-around support system they can depend on through each stage of life’s journey.
