The tendency is to think that when an older person suffers a setback, those limitations now become the new ceiling. Nothing could be further from the truth! We know that focused therapies can mitigate and even restore functionality resulting from:
Falls and Fractures
Strokes
Joint Replacements
Amputations
Post-surgical Conditions
Wound Care
Arthritis
Chronic Pain
Multiple Sclerosis
Vertigo and Neurological Disorders
Cardiopulmonary Dysfunction
Incontinence
Most seniors who suffer from common injuries and ailments see a vast improvement in their daily lives after engaging in focused therapies to treat specific declines in function. Age alone is not the limiting factor! Residents and their therapy assistants set goals together, then take small steps toward meeting them over time. The result is healthier, more independent older people.
PT, OT & SLP
Springbrooke Senior Living partners with RehabCare Plus to provide on-site physical, occupational and speech-language pathology therapies. Our individualized treatment plans help residents return to an optimum level of functioning and a better quality of life. All treatment sessions are tailored to the individual resident.We administer therapy in whatever setting is the most appropriate – residents’ private apartments, Springbrooke’s two fitness centers, the dining rooms and other spots throughout community.
Eyes-On Care
What’s the advantage of having on-site therapy assistants? Well, we can monitor residents while going about their daily routines, which makes it easy to tailor therapies and to spot possible issues. We work closely with the Springbrooke nursing staff to gauge the effectiveness of therapies. We also get to know the residents and their families, so we can keep families in the loop about their loved ones’ progress.
PT-Led Exercise Classes
Our therapy assistants lead several fitness and balance sessions a week, which are open to all residents. Springbrooke residents will tell you that these classes are a lot of fun!
Bi-Annual Fitness Testing
Twice a year, Springbrooke residents have the option of undergoing voluntary assessments testing strength, balance and mobility, all with the aim of maintaining maximum independence.
