Clinical Services

Physical Therapy

Our fully licensed Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants help clients improve their strength, mobility, coordination and functional tasks. Therapists use a variety of state of the art and specialized equipment (Lite Gait, Bioness L300 Plus, Ergys 2, Game Cycle) and aquatic therapy to assist in the clients’ rehabilitation. Our therapists work directly with staff and family members to help educate and train them on everything from assisting clients with mobility as a client progresses to assistive device repairs. Our 1:1 approach provides client-focused rehabilitation with better outcomes.

Occupational Therapy

Our fully licensed occupational therapists use a variety of strategies to promote skill development and independence in all daily activities, which includes things like: bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding and toileting. Occupational Therapists may also recommended use of adaptive equipment; such as a grab bar, raised toilet seat, shower chair or a long handled sponge. Our therapists also assist with more complex skills which are necessary as more independence and community access are achieved. These skills include:

• Personal finance management and budgeting
• Community access training
