Therapy

All patients are evaluated on admission and individualized goals are developed with the patient and family to assist the patient to return home or go to another level of rehabilitation.

For the pediatric patient, the unit has many age appropriate activities and equipment.

We work with the patient and family to develop a daily schedule of therapy activities. In addition to receiving three hours of physical therapy, occupation therapy and speech therapy (if needed), patients are able to participate in recreation programs.

Some of these programs include:

• computer access
• coffee club
• socialization
• Nintendo
• community outings
• off unit dining program
• karaoke
• videos
• Animal Assisted Therapy
• Red Hat Lunch Program

We have a state of the art therapy gym that has the most equipment including unweighted walking system, electric stimulation and strengthening equipment as well as utilization of the most up to date techniques including kinesiotaping constraint therapy and serial casting. Part of the gym is set up with a kitchen, bed and bathroom area. This area allows patients to practice skills learned in therapy in a home like setting.
