Therapy Team Focused on the Individual
Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists work one-on-one with our patients to achieve goals for strength, flexibility, endurance and mobility. Their goal is to promote independent living by bringing patients’ mobility and lifestyle capabilities to optimal levels. The result of this personalized approach is improved outcomes in a shorter length of stay.
