Nursing Services
Our nurses have been here a long time, and a number of them measure their tenure in decades. That matters more than it sounds. They know what a resident looks like on a good day, so they catch the bad ones early. A licensed nurse is in the building every hour of the day and night.
Rehabilitation & Therapies
Our therapists work out of two gyms, one set up for physical therapy and one for occupational therapy, with a new sensory room inside the OT gym. They’ll push you a little harder than you want on the days you can take it, and back off on the days you can’t. The goal is the same one you have, which is getting home.
Short-Term Rehabilitation
Short-Term Rehabilitation
Short-term rehab is a stay of weeks, not months, aimed squarely at getting you back home. Therapy runs most days and your discharge plan starts the week you arrive.
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy rebuilds strength and balance so that you can move around without falling. Our physical therapists work with you one on one in our PT gym, and they’ll tell you straight where you are.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is about the ordinary things: bathing, dressing, cooking, getting to the bathroom on your own. Our OT gym is set up to practice all of it, and we’ll teach you to use a walker or a shower chair if you need one.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy covers talking and swallowing and thinking clearly, which are more connected than most people expect. Our speech therapists work with residents after a stroke, a brain injury, or a long illness.
Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory therapy is for residents whose breathing needs help, whether from a lung condition or a recent illness. We manage CPAP and BiPAP machines as well as oxygen and nebulized treatments, and we watch how you respond.
Music Therapy
Music Therapy
Music reaches people that conversation sometimes can’t, especially residents living with dementia. We use it in our new sensory room, where it’s paired with aromatherapy and a deliberately calm setting.
Orthopedic & Post Surgery Rehab
Orthopedic & Post Surgery Rehabilitation
After a joint replacement or a fracture, the work is getting range of motion back while managing the pain. Our therapists build the plan around your surgeon’s protocol and your own pace.
Stroke and Neurological Recovery
Stroke and Neurological Recovery
Stroke recovery pulls in all three therapies at once, because a stroke rarely takes only one thing. We work on movement and speech, and on the daily tasks you used to do without thinking.
Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation
After a cardiac event or a serious lung illness, exercise has to be rebuilt carefully and watched closely. We monitor you through guided activity and go over medication and diet before you leave.
Fall Prevention and Balance Training
Fall Prevention and Balance Training
A fall is what sends many people here, and a second fall is what keeps them here. We work on balance and strength and look at what actually caused it, from your medication list to your footwear.
Specialized Care
Some needs don’t fit neatly under nursing or under therapy. This is where they live. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, ask us, because the answer is often yes.
