Our Rehabilitation Treatment Philosophy
We emphasize an individualized plan of care with full one-on-one treatments.
Our clinicians focus on evidence based practice and utilize the most up to date treatment plans for each patient.
We incorporate the entire staff in tailoring an inclusive, patient specific treatment program to maximize recovery.
We utilize close communications with other members of the health care team to promote an integrated plan of care.
We pride ourselves on creating a comfortable atmosphere in which you are able to successfully reach your discharge goals.
We feel like education is a key to our patients’ high success rate and our staff actively engages in continuing education to provide care based on the current evidence available.

Inpatient Occupational Therapy Services
Occupational Therapy (OT) services consist of patient centered approaches to restore functional independence for daily tasks, or activities of daily living (ADLs). These tasks typically include self-feeding, dressing, bathing, toileting, meal preparation, and light housekeeping tasks.
Treatment focuses on restoring ability to complete daily life tasks to prior level of function.
Instruction in use of adaptive equipment to improve independence and safety with ADLs
Energy conservation education and compensatory strategy education to improve participation/quality of life

Treatment focuses on restoring range of motion, strength, dexterity as well as managing and preventing pain in the upper extremity.
