Services

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps patients achieve maximum independence with daily living activities such as self-care, household tasks, work and leisure activities. Occupational therapists may address coordination, range of motion, splinting and positioning, visual perception and cognitive skills. We often incorporate task adaptation or recommend specialized equipment to achieve your goals.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy promotes independence and safety with mobility including getting up from a chair, walking, using a wheelchair and bed mobility. In addition, physical therapists address balance, coordination, strength and range of motion. We may also recommend assistive devices to help with mobility as appropriate.

Speech-Language Therapy

Speech-language therapy helps improve quality of life for people with speech and swallowing related deficits. Speech-language therapists also provide support and instruction for family members who assist with care.

Speech-language therapy focuses on expressive, receptive and cognitive communication, as well as remediation for weak and aging voice. We specialize in treating swallowing deficits using specialized techniques such as VitalStim and McNeil Dysphagia Therapy Program.
