Skilled therapists and pathologists work one-on-one with each resident, focusing on restoring strength, enhancing mobility, and helping individuals regain their activities of daily living. Occupational therapy is centered on enabling residents to adapt to changes in their physical or social environments, supporting them in relearning important life skills such as dressing, memory retention, and coordination. For those experiencing communication challenges or swallowing difficulties, the speech therapy team at The Birches designs targeted treatment plans, introducing alternate communication strategies and recommending appropriate dietary modifications when needed.
