Physical Therapy

Physical therapy focuses on improving mobility, strength, and overall physical function. Our licensed physical therapists assess the patient’s physical abilities and develop personalized treatment plans to address specific impairments and limitations. Through a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, and assistive devices, our physical therapists aim to enhance mobility, alleviate pain, and optimize physical function. We also provide education and guidance to patients and their families on safe movement techniques and strategies for managing symptoms.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy aims to help patients maintain independence and participate in meaningful activities of daily living. Our experienced occupational therapists assess the patient’s functional abilities and develop customized treatment plans to address challenges related to self-care, mobility, and productivity. They focus on adapting the environment, providing assistive devices, and teaching compensatory techniques to promote independence and improve quality of life. Our occupational therapists also collaborate with caregivers to ensure a safe and supportive home environment for the patient.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapy, also known as speech-language pathology, focuses on addressing communication and swallowing difficulties. Our speech-language pathologists evaluate the patient’s speech, language, cognitive abilities, and swallowing function. They develop targeted therapy programs to enhance communication skills, improve cognitive function, and address swallowing disorders. Our speech therapists also provide strategies and techniques for patients to maintain oral intake and prevent complications related to swallowing difficulties.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We believe in a patient-centered approach to therapy. Our therapists create personalized treatment plans based on the individual needs, goals, and preferences of each patient. They collaborate closely with the interdisciplinary care team, including physicians, nurses, and social workers, to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care. Regular assessments and adjustments are made to the treatment plans to meet the evolving needs of the patient throughout their hospice journey.

We believe in the power of physical, occupational, and speech therapy to enhance independence, quality of life, and overall well-being. Our skilled therapists are dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care to our patients.
