Occupational Therapy

As part of our complete rehabilitation effort, we provide Occupational Therapy to many of our residents. 

Some people who benefit from Occupational Therapy include those who:

• Are recovering from stroke or other neurologically based dysfunctions
• Have orthopedic conditions, including arthritis and hip fracture
• Have symptoms of multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's Disease
• Have limitations in their ability to carry out self-care activities
• Have strength or endurance risks 
• Will benefit from special adaptive equipment to aid in reaching a maximum level of independence

Our Occupational Therapy program is goal-oriented, and aims to help individuals adapt and reach their maximum level of independence.

 Examples of Occupational Therapy services include:

• Education and training in daily living skills such as dressing, bathing, eating, and grooming
• Sensorimotor treatments for strengthening, endurance, range of motion, coordination, and balance
• Therapeutic activities for memory, orientation, cognitive integration, and other daily life skills
• Perceptual testing and training to maximize functional abilities
• Fabrication of splints to provide proper positioning, control spasticity, and reduce edema or pain
• Recommendations for adaptive equipment to increase functional abilities during activities of daily living
