Therapy

Rehabilitation Services

Ranging from gentle strengthening to assertive post-surgical care, the rehabilitation services at Marycrest focus on improving the quality of life of those we serve. By increasing our patients’ independence in self care, ambulation and communication, their sense of self-worth is preserved and enhanced. Therapists and patients experience loving companionship as they journey together through the rehabilitation process.

On-site occupational, speech, and physical therapists provide specialized programs to help residents receive the greatest possible level of independence and rehabilitation.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy focuses on treatment to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and function throughout life. This includes providing treatment in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors.

Speech Therapy

Speech and Language Pathology provides screening, assessment, and treatment for disorders of speech, language, swallowing, and cognition. Speech therapy focuses on regaining and/or compensating for lost skills to improve quality of life for more effective communication and diet enjoyment. Our speech therapy professionals work with our elders to resolve communication, memory and eating and swallowing problems. Therapists establish effective ways for the elders to have their needs and wants communicated. They also help resolve swallowing difficulties such as dysphagia. When memory is affected by illness, the speech therapists assist with compensatory techniques to help improve independence.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy focuses on treatment to increase or maintain management of daily tasks by oneself. Some of these daily tasks include bathing, dressing, grooming, and feeding. Our occupational therapists help each person to focus uniquely on his/her activities of daily living. Together we generate ways of creating a unique environment that is totally centered on teach individual person’s current capabilities.

Restorative Therapy

Restorative Nursing Services ensure that our residents maintain their highest practical level of functioning in long-term care. Restorative Nursing Services provide specific treatments to residents to restore and maintain their strength, coordination, and skills to ambulate and perform functional activities of daily living.

The restorative therapy program works together with other therapists, other staff members and family. Individually designed programs help each resident to address his/her pain management, maintain or increase strength, endurance flexibility, and foster fulfillment, happiness and emotional well-being.
