Personalized Care
Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation suite provides a full spectrum of services. Our on-site core team includes Physical, Occupational, Speech, and Respiratory Therapists. Available to all residents in Nursing, Personal Care, Memory Support, and Residential Apartments as ordered by your physician, therapy services are offered 7 days a week, and up to 2 ½ hours per day, depending on individual needs.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists offer Orthopedic post-op rehabilitation to help individuals regain mobility, strength, and balance. Our goal is to restore function to prior level. The team utilizes adaptive equipment for mobility to increase safety and decrease fall risk. We use specialized equipment and design programs to expedite the rehabilitation process. We also provide treatment of neck, back, muscle, joint pain and dysfunction.
Occupational Therapy
This area of rehab focuses on restoring the ability to care for oneself with activities of daily living, such as: bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, and activities of leisure. A private bathing suite is available to accommodate training techniques for return to home. We provide treatment of arm, hand, and wrist disorders, as well as visual deficits. OT will evaluate seating and positioning needs for comfort and to protect against pressure wounds and falls. Our Occupation Therapists perform home and community evaluations for individuals who plan to return to their homes, and give recommendations to assure safe discharge. They also provide transition training from skilled rehab to apartments within the Sarah Reed Community.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy evaluates swallowing, communication, and cognitive disorders. The therapist reinforces safety concerns with activities of daily living to increase problem solving, and sequencing. Our on-site therapist is certified in deep pharyngeal nerve stimulation, a treatment which can assist individuals in being able to tolerate regular liquids.
Respiratory Therapy
This type of treatment is highly effective for upper respiratory and pulmonary diseases and disorders. We focus on increasing the resident’s ability to participate in active rehabilitation and reduce probability of hospitalization for common diseases such as pneumonia, COPD, and congestive heart failure.

Testimonials
The therapy I received for my knee replacement surgery was great! I stayed in the Skilled Nursing Facility and everything was just great. Having a private room was so important to me.
— Kathy K.
Never did I think I could like living in a nursing home but I really do! After a heart attack and broken hip, I can no longer live alone. The staff here is so helpful, and my room is very comfortable! I especially enjoyed the physical therapy I received.

When we walked in and saw the bright, spacious apartment we knew this was the place for us! We love the view from our apartment. Everyone here was so welcoming and made us feel right at home!
