Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy is designed to improve overall functional mobility skills following a variety of acute or chronic medical conditions. Examples include the ability to ambulate and balance training. We employ innovative approaches designed to maximize function and minimize pain. Our physical therapists specialize in lower extremity injuries, trauma, dysfunction, and pre/post surgical rehab.

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists specialize in upper extremity injury, trauma, dysfunction and pre/post surgical rehab. They are focused on maximizing independence with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and eating. In order to optimize function and mobility, our therapists use several techniques and train both residents and families in the use of specialized equipment.

Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy seeks to help patients improve their ability to communicate. The primary role of our speech therapists is to assist with swallowing dysfunction, communication and cognition. Some examples include abilities such as speaking, swallowing, problem solving, critical thinking, and reading.
