Physician Services. At admission you will select and designate a physician to follow you during your stay. All medications, treatments, and diets are subject to the physician’s direction. If you can’t select an attending physician the facility can refer you to one who has privileges at the facility. Physicians will see you at regular intervals and provide documentation of care as required by law. If you want to speak with your physician, and have questions, concerns, issues we can help you. If receiving therapy services our rehabilitation staff will reach out to you. Information regarding our therapy programs can also be found in the Wellness Binder located in each patient room. AFFIRMA Rehabilitation is a national company dedicated to providing quality rehabilitation therapy services. Our Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy programs are designed to meet the needs of the individuals we serve. Our goal is to work with the patient and the family to ensure a smooth transition to the home, residential care or long term care environment. Special attention is paid to achieving an optimal outcome by establishing individualized treatment plans. Our overall focus is to promote each patient’s quality of life and assist them in achieving their highest level of independence and safety. Through a multi-disciplinary team approach and state of the art modalities, we are able to provide optimum care throughout the rehabilitation process. Our physical therapists provide skilled therapy to improve mobility, balance, transfers, and range of motion and pain management. They instruct patients in skilled techniques to improve their ability to walk, climb stairs and increase physical stamina. They assess the need for specialized braces or equipment that may be required to improve self-reliance and safety. Our occupational therapists work with the patient, family members and referring physicians to develop an individualized treatment plan. Therapists take individuals through a variety of daily living activities such as bathing, dressing and preparing meals. If a patient can no longer perform skill, the therapist can teach alternatives. For people with learning disabilities, strokes, dementia, hearing loss or other illnesses, communication can be very difficult. Our speech therapists evaluate and provide treatment for communication problems to help regain listening, reading, speaking and writing skills, help retrain people who suffer from swallowing difficulties, provide voice therapy, and help to improve cognitive functioning.
