Our approach to therapy is truly state-of-the-art, and we provide the finest in therapists, equipment and services. Our therapy room is large and clean, well-lit and welcoming. We’ll design a therapy program that is tailored to get you up, around, and functioning at the highest level possible. It’s our goal to get you back in the swing of things, and we employ a variety of high-tech and (good old-fashioned) hands-on therapeutic approaches that we believe will work wonders for you!
The therapy staff is part of the “bricks and mortar” of Pleasant Valley Healthcare & Rehabilitation, and our therapists take pride in the performance of the therapy department as well as the entire facility. We understand each patient has unique and special needs, so our in-house therapy program is completely customizable to meet them. This is a collaborative effort among our team members, who work with your physician to create a unique vision and treatment plan for you. We can even provide specialized equipment to aid in your treatment.
We have a full-time in-house therapy team – not outside contractors or agencies – so our patients get to know their therapists, and vice-versa. Having the same therapy team working with you every day is a big plus, and we always seek to achieve just the right “match” between patient and therapist, for optimal results and comfort.
Our therapists receive education and training to other disciplines, to ensure the continuity of care between therapy and nursing. At Pleasant Valley Healthcare & Rehabilitation, we work together with one goal in mind: your comfort and health.
Our therapy team is passionate about bringing the latest techniques and programs to our patients. Through continuing education, our physical and occupational therapists apply the latest research to improve balance and reduce fall-risk. They also utilize therapeutic modalities combined with a comprehensive therapy program for strengthening, balance training, pain reduction, wound-healing, urinary incontinence, and increasing range of motion.
In addition, we have therapists certified in specialty areas of practice such as:
• Wound Care
• Neurological Conditions
• Electrical Stimulation For Swallowing Dysfunction
• Lymphedema
• Pulmonary Programs
• Intravenous therapy
• Tracheostomy care
• Speech-language Therapy
Our integrated cognitive program combines a standardized functional cognitive assessment with our patients’ “life footprint” to help us develop a comprehensive understanding of each individual under our care. After assessing the patient’s functional cognitive level, we overlay this assessment with a comprehensive “background inventory” that includes relevant details of the patient’s daily life. By matching these two data sets in a meaningful way, we can better tailor individualized therapy programs to the patient’s unique needs. We can also reduce the stress and anxiety of being in a new place for either short-term rehabilitation or a permanent residence. The Integrated Cognitive Program is also instrumental in setting up the best care for our patients with Alzheimer’s Disease.
