The Long-Term Care Setting
We are experts in implementing programs that can have a powerful, beneficial impact on the lives of residents in long-term care facilities:
- Fall Prevention - Understanding falls and their relationship to restraint reduction; starting and measuring a fall prevention program.
- Incontinence for the Frail - We provide two program models focused on proven interventions for both functional and frail/cognitively impaired individuals.
- Wound Care - Our proven program comprises multiple components, including staff education, pain management, mobility training and exercise, compression therapy, and wound cleaning, debridement and dressings.
- Restraint Reduction - Identifying residents' health, functional and psychosocial problems, and providing assistance with environmental modifications that promote greater safety and more meaningful activity.
- Eating and Dining - We assist occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists in evaluating and treating residents with eating deficits.
- Vision - Identifying conditions that cause low vision and the appropriate treatment interventions that address vision loss, and limitations in mobility and other activities of daily living.
- Vestibular Training - We draw on the extensive expertise of our therapists to assist in conducting thorough patient assessments and implementing successful rehabilitation programs with a strong patient education component.
- Lymphedema Training - We use the Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) methodology to help individuals with primary or long-term secondary lymphedema.
- Promoting Function - We help therapists improve patient function by broadening their views and assessing important elements like ADL skills, transfer skills, falls, pain, positioning and exercise.
- Positioning and Posture - Our proprietary course assists facility staff in identifying those patients who are restrained and with poor posture, and choosing appropriate and safe positioning devices.
