MeadowWood Assisted Living tenants may have access to therapy services depending upon their individual insurance coverage.  The therapy department is housed in St. Joseph's Rehabilitation Center, which MeadowWood is physically connected to, but therapists can also work with tenants within our building.

 

Therapy services are provided through MJ Care, Inc.  Therapists help tenants recover from a wide variety of conditions including stroke, heart attack, hip fractures and injuries from accidents.  Services available include physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.  The therapists perform an in-depth evaluation before setting up and intensive, comprehensive program to help you progress as quickly as possible.  Family members are encouraged to be involved in the therapy program as an important part of our team.

 

Physical Therapists and Therapy Assistants restore muscle strength, activity endurance, joint mobility, and restore balance and coordination for transfers and walking.  Physical therapists use various techniques, such as moist heat packs, ultrasound, electrical stimulation and whirlpools to promote healing and provide relief. 

 

Occupational Therapists and Certified OT Assistants assess and provide individual programs to enable you to participate in community activities and perform activities of daily living, such as bathing, grooming, dressing and eating.  Treatments may focus on home safety and equipment needs, endurance, coordination and strength and range-of-motion to perform functional activities.

 

Speech-Language Pathologists are professionals to help you develop or regain communication abilities, improve understanding, memory, and interaction skills.  Specialized services are provided to improve vocal quality, stuttering, and swallow functions related to stroke or other neurological conditions.  Special communication systems may be used to enhance communication abilities.
