Rehabilitation Therapy

Through our highly recognized rehabilitation program, Advena Living on Woodlawn works with community members to provide in-house physical, occupational and speech therapy.

We offer short-term rehab services and post-acute care for community members who are working hard to recover and return home after surgery, illness or injury. We also offer long-term rehabilitation and care for our members who need additional support and personalized attention for improved function and quality of life.

The rehabilitation team will collaborate with our members to help restore mobility and autonomy, working together in a safe and comforting environment. As a source of constant support, we will form a clear plan to accomplish each individual’s specific health goals and help them achieve the best possible quality of life, whether at their own home or as a community member at our facility.

Physical Therapy

Our physical therapists work to move the patient toward greater independence and mobility, either unassisted or with assist devices. Community members focus on improvement of coordination, balance, strength and endurance. Through evaluation and treatment programs, our therapists can treat a variety of conditions, including:

Amputations
Arthritis
Balance/gait disorders
Low back and neck pain
Other orthopedic/athletic injuries
Treatment following joint replacement surgery

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists use goal-directed activity to help restore, maintain and improve daily living skills. The objective is to assess the community member’s ability for personal self-care and provide modified techniques and/or adaptive devices, as necessary, to assist in achieving the skills needed to complete activities of routine daily living.

Our services include:

Hand rehabilitation
Neuromuscular re-education
Retraining in daily living activities
Stroke rehabilitation
Wheelchair management

Speech Therapy

Speech and language pathologists focus on improvements in swallowing, hearing, speech and language proficiency. The goal is to assess and provide treatment that helps the patient recover lost skills or develop new ones. Treatment is provided to community members of all ages who have a range of diagnoses such as:

Motor speech disorders
Swallowing disorders
Language disorders that affect ability to communicate
