Physical Therapy for Seniors
Whether you were hospitalized for a heart attack or stroke, broke a bone, or had a joint replaced, our physical therapists (PTs) help you gain strength, mobility and endurance. Through our partnership with Accelerated Care Plus (ACP®), the PTs on our staff are trained on evidence-based clinical protocols and we continue to expand our use of advanced rehabilitation technologies designed to support better outcomes. Working closely with you and our clinical team, they will assess your needs and goals and develop a plan of care that might include exercises for strength, flexibility and/or balance, to help you prevent re-injury, restore function and increase self-reliance.
Occupational Therapy for Seniors
When injury or illness limits your ability to carry out activities of daily living, like bathing or dressing, our occupational therapists (OTs) are here to help you increase your ability to perform tasks safely. Following a thorough evaluation, they will use an evidence-based program incorporating real-world activities, assistive techniques and, if necessary, adaptive devices, to support you on your path to recovery and independence.
Speech Therapy for Seniors
Working closely with other members of our interdisciplinary post-acute care team, our speech therapists support those recovering from stroke or intubation, those with dementia or Parkinson’s, and others who have difficulty speaking or swallowing. They provide expert assessment of your needs and then develop a program that may include doing physical exercises for the neck and tongue, learning techniques to improve speech or playing games to help you recognize and find the right words to improve communication.
VSTBalance™
We are equipped with the VirtuSense™ VST Balance system, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine vision to identify problems with balance, gait and function. With these objective measures in hand, our experienced physical therapists can custom-tailor a therapeutic program to help you achieve your mobility goals—and to measure the effectiveness of that program to keep your recovery on track and increase the likelihood that you won’t need to go back to the hospital after you’ve gone home.
LSVT BIG®/LSVT LOUD® For Parkinson’s
For people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), physical and occupational therapists certified in LSVT BIG® customize treatment to train you to use your body more naturally, to improve mobility and complete activities of daily living. Our speech therapists certified in LSVT LOUD® help people with PD and other neurological conditions to speak with a voice and volume that’s easier for others to hear and understand.
