Embassy Healthcare facilities provide rehabilitation services to individuals recovering from stroke, surgery, injury, arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, fractures, respiratory distress, dementia, trauma, heart attack, and other debilitating conditions. Physical, Speech, and Occupational Therapy Services are available. Treatments are prescribed by a physician, and implemented by a staff of trained and licensed professionals.
Physical Therapy services consist of a variety of treatments intended to increase strength, balance, mobility, and decrease pain and discomfort. Upon a written physician order, an evaluation, and treatment if appropriate, therapy needs are continually monitored and modified to provide optimum care to assist the resident in achieving his/her maximum rehabilitation potential. Physical therapy can help residents return to normal activity, emphasizes safety, and establish exercise programs.
Through Occupational Therapy, the resident learns to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL’S), which include adaptive techniques, devices and self-care tasks. Transferring and positioning techniques are also taught to improve safety and independence. Occupational therapy works with the resident to improve ability to self-feed using adaptive utensils when appropriate and to reteach basic home tasks such as laundry, microwave use, and cooking. Caregiver education is provided to enable families to assist the resident safely.
Speech Therapy services are provided by a licensed and certified Speech-Language Pathologist and prescribed by the attending physicians. All treatments are designed to help the resident improve effectiveness of communication, improve clarity of speech, and swallowing with the most appropriate diet. Speech therapy will also assist the resident in identifying strategies to help with memory and breakdown and organize information to ease decision making.
The ultimate goal of Embassy Healthcare facilities is to provide premium rehabilitation services while delivering the highest quality care and allowing each resident to reach their maximum independence in order to return to their desired lifestyle.
