Our dedicated physical and occupational therapists help elderly patients regain a better quality of life. That's the simple version. Here are the nuts and bolts of what physical and occupational therapy are:

Physical Therapy is treatment that focuses on improving a person's function, whether it's related to bones, joints, muscles or nerves. Typically, a person's function has been impaired in some manner as a result of either an injury, wear and tear or simply as a result of the aging process.
Within the geriatric population, physical therapists most often treat functional problems like pain, balance issues, poor endurance, trouble walking and poor muscle strength. They also provide patients with therapeutic programs to keep them strong.

Occupational Therapy is treatment that focuses on helping a person achieve independence in his/her day-to-day life.

Within the geriatric population, occupational therapists typically focus on a person's bathing, dressing and grooming abilities. Occupational therapists are trained in identifying problems in these areas and are able to make recommendations for improvement. Oftentimes, adaptive equipment recommendations are made and include rolling walkers, tub benches, commodes and adaptive eating utensils.

To see if physical or occupational therapy is appropriate for you or someone you know please contact your physician or call us directly at 1-877-407-3422.

Our patients do not have to be homebound or have a skilled nursing need like home health agencies under Medicare Part A. Our Medicare coverage is the same as all other outpatient facilities.
