ABOUT REHABILATION SERVICE FACILITIES Foresight Management Services Rehabilitation Facilities
Many skilled nursing facilities offer a rehabilitation program to help their Residents recover and achieve their highest possible functioning level. Often, rehabilitation is a collaborative effort of physical, occupational, and speech therapies with rehabilitative nursing care. Rehabilitation is vital for helping short-term Residents return to the community or helping long-term Residents enjoy greater independence and a higher quality of life while in the facility. All Foresight Management Service’s facilities offer a rehabilitation program. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are all available with our highly-trained licensed therapists. Some of the more common conditions that require rehabilitation include, major surgeries, orthopedic conditions, strokes and heart attacks, and neurological conditions. Physical therapy assists Residents to regain previous physical abilities and achieve a higher level of functioning. Strength and balance, mobility, and pain management are common focuses. There are many conditions that benefit from physical therapy, including major surgeries, strokes and heart attacks, fractures, nerve damage, orthopedic conditions, and neurological conditions. Occupational Therapy assists Residents to perform activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, grooming, and cooking. The therapists work with Resident’s loss of motor functions, sensory functions, and neuropsychological conditions (such as memory loss). Occupational therapists also assists Residents with transferring, such as from wheelchair to bed or toilet, and mobility, such as suggestions for home accessibility modifications. Speech therapy assists Residents with speech, hearing, language skills, and swallowing abilities. A speech therapist can help a Resident speak more clearly, use a hearing aid more effectively, and swallow without difficulty. Speech therapists often work with Residents who have had a stroke, Parkinson’s disease, head injuries, hearing loss or other conditions that cause dysphasia. |
