Our premier therapy team, Guardian Rehabilitation Services, provides a catalyst for wellness for those who need services for intensive rehabilitation following a stroke, heart attack, fracture or other disability. Specializing in short term post hospital care, our licensed Physical Therapist, Occupational Therapist and Speech Therapist work as a team to ensure each individual receives the maximum benefit of rehabilitative treatment from the day of admission to the day of discharge.
Services provided include:
Physical Therapy focuses on body movement dysfunctions. Physical Therapists assist residents with walking and developing the physical ability for bed and wheel chair transfer techniques. We have a fully equipped therapy room with specialized equipment to help residents become confident in their mobility skills.
Occupational Therapy teaches the resident self care and promotion of activities of daily living skills such as dressing, bathing, food preparation and eating. Therapists help residents develop maximum use of arms, hands and fingers by addressing both thought (cognitive) and visual (perceptual) deficits that interfere with everyday skills.
Speech/Language Pathology focuses on the improvement of a resident's communication skills. Our Speech Pathologist provides basic retraining of cognitive skills and independence through decision-making, reasoning and memory. Oral motor strengthening, swallowing retraining and written expression are also provided to maximize an individual's potential following an injury or illness.
Respiratory Therapy helps residents who have an increased risk to respiratory difficulties. Our specially trained nursing staff works with the residents to strengthen muscles, clear congestion, aid in ventilation and help in the prevention of further difficulties.
For residents who no longer require skilled therapies, our Restorative Nursing Program can maximize any resident's potential for both physical and mental well being. Such programs as Range of Motions, Walk to Dine, Therapeutic and Cognitive Activities, Hair Care and more, provide the reassurance to each resident that feeling good is not just for the physical body but the mental, emotional and social bodies as well.
