Rehabilitation Therapies
Saint Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center offers a diverse team of therapists and doctors who offer our residents some of the most progressive physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy programs in the area. Our state-of-the-art Rehabilitation Department uses advanced techniques and equipment which improves patient outcomes resulting in earlier discharges to home. All of the rehabilitation programs we offer are carefully designed to assist patients in regaining their optimal functionality and independence. Our occupational therapists focus on balance and upper body strengthening - necessary skills for daily living. Our physical therapists focus on lower body strengthening, gait training, transfer abilities, and assistive device usage. Speech therapists focus on managing swallowing deficits, developing problem solving abilities, and improving speech and language skills. Together, their goal is to provide each resident with the opportunity to overcome barriers and re-master lost functional skills due to limitations caused by illness or age.
Adult Day Health
Our Adult Day Health Program helps families to manage the responsibility of caring for an elderly or frail adult who is living at home. We provide appropriate care and supervision to those with functional and/or cognitive impairments who are unable to remain at home unattended during the course of the working day.
The Saint Francis Adult Day Health program provides family members with peace of mind knowing their loved one is receiving exceptional care. Participation in our adult day program allows the senior to enjoy companionship and care while his/her family attends to their daily commitments without worry.
Our comprehensive program encourages seniors to participate in a variety of activities ranging from social to educational pursuits. Whether utilized as a way to fill lonely hours or as a means of sharing knowledge and special life skills, our program offers a safe, comfortable alternative to full time care.
