Physical Therapy (PT): The goal of physical therapy is to make daily tasks and activities easier. For example, it may help with walking, going up stairs, or getting in and out of bed. Physical therapy can help with recovery after some surgeries. Can be beneficial for recovery from injuries or for long-term health problems.
Occupational Therapy (OT): Treatment to help people live as independently as possible emphasizing activities of daily living such as brushing teeth, eye hand coordination, fine motor skills, and upper body strength.
Speech Therapy (ST): Therapeutic treatment to cure, remedy, or alleviate communication disorders as well as swallowing disorders.
Respiratory Therapy (RT): Treatment for patients who have trouble breathing; for example, from a chronic respiratory disease, such as asthma or emphysema or treatment for patients suffering from heart attacks, stroke, drowning, or shock.
Mobility Training: Aids in the ability to move extremities through the full range of motion. Properly learned, mobility can help restore freedom of motion to help one move around safely and independently.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR): Works to increase the self-worth, purpose and confidence for those residents dealing with a life changing illness or decline in health.
Pain Management: Eases the suffering and improves the quality of life of those living with pain through different treatment options, including medications and therapy.
Wound Management: Treatment for acute and chronic wounds. Acute wounds are those that heal within a defined time period, usually two weeks in a healthy person. However, when acute wounds fail to heal properly due to, for example, illness, or see slow or stagnated healing these are categorized as chronic. The overall treatment depends on the type, cause, and depth of the wound as well as whether or not other structures beyond the skin are involved.
Crescent Health Care also has a Therapy Apartment on site in our Retirement home that is used strictly for our residents in our SNF that are undergoing Rehab to return home. The on-site apartment gives the patients an opportunity to work with the therapist in a home like setting to ensure that our residents are prepared and safe to return home.
