Our Occupational Therapy Services
Comprehensive Evaluations: Our occupational therapists conduct thorough assessments to evaluate each resident's unique needs, strengths, and challenges. These evaluations help us develop personalized treatment plans that address specific goals and focus on improving functional abilities.
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training: We work closely with residents to enhance their skills and independence in activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and meal preparation. Our therapists utilize adaptive techniques, assistive devices, and specialized training to facilitate independence and maximize functional abilities.
Upper Extremity Rehabilitation: We provide specialized rehabilitation for individuals with upper extremity limitations or injuries. Our therapists utilize therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, and assistive devices to improve strength, range of motion, and coordination in the arms and hands.
Cognitive Rehabilitation: We offer cognitive rehabilitation programs to address memory, attention, problem-solving, and other cognitive impairments. Our therapists employ evidence-based techniques and activities to enhance cognitive function and promote engagement in daily life.
Home Safety Assessments and Modifications: Our occupational therapists assess the home environment to identify potential safety hazards and recommend necessary modifications. These modifications may include installing grab bars, ramps, or other adaptive equipment to promote safety and independence.
Assistive Device Training: We provide training and guidance on the use of assistive devices such as walkers, canes, and wheelchair mobility. Our therapists ensure proper fitting and teach residents how to utilize these devices safely and effectively to enhance mobility and independence.
Community Reintegration: We work with residents to facilitate their transition back into the community after a hospital stay or surgery. Our therapists focus on functional activities needed for community reintegration, such as grocery shopping, using public transportation, and participating in leisure and social activities.
Patient and Family Education: We believe in empowering both residents and their families with the knowledge and skills needed for successful rehabilitation. Our therapists provide education on adaptive techniques, energy conservation strategies, and home exercise programs to support ongoing progress and independent living.
