Rehabilitation
Touchstone Communities provides comprehensive elder Rehabilitation Services including Speech, Occupational and Physical Therapies administered by state licensed professionals under the supervision of a physician. Incorporating our trademarked “Return-to-Home™” approach, our Rehabilitation Team designs a customized program of physical medicine that provides residents with the greatest opportunity to return to their prior level of function and living accommodations. Our therapists are specially trained in the treatment of fractured hips, hip replacements, knee replacements, strokes, complicated medical situations, and general de-conditioning. Touchstone’s Physical Therapists work on motor skills such as walking, wheelchair training, transfer training and balance skills. We also provide Occupational Therapy which addresses Activities of Daily Living such as bathing, dressing, homemaking, memory and community reintegration skills. If needed, Speech Therapists work with patients to improve communication skills, including speech and cognitive issues, as well as swallowing dysfunction as a result of a stroke or accident. Following active rehabilitation, Restorative Aides work with individuals to ensure patients do not lose skills gained from therapy. Our overall goal is to get patients back to their highest practical level of function.
