At Casitas Care Center, a team of experienced rehabilitation professionals develops personalized rehabilitation programs aimed at helping residents regain their independence and facilitating a safe return to their own homes whenever possible.

Each resident undergoes a personalized evaluation, after which an individualized care plan is crafted tailored to their specific medical and rehabilitative needs. To ensure optimal outcomes, the therapy team focuses on regaining and strengthening lower body muscles and improving balance, which is essential for safe and secure mobility. Occupational therapy extends this focus to enhancing functional mobility and strength in both the upper and lower body. For those experiencing difficulties with speech or swallowing, a dedicated speech therapist provides thorough assessments and designs targeted treatments to help residents thrive in their daily activities.
Wound care is given special attention at Casitas Care Center, with weekly wound care rounds led by Vohera Wound Group. Each wound is carefully evaluated in accordance with its severity, underlying diagnosis, and individual characteristics, ensuring that the most suitable and effective care is administered. The nursing team, including registered nurses, is equipped to administer IV antibiotics and other medications as needed, ensuring that even residents with complex medical requirements receive exceptional care without leaving the facility. Throughout the center, staff members—including licensed vocational nurses, certified nursing assistants, and recreation aides—work collectively to create a nurturing and supportive environment. The recreation program also plays an integral role, engaging residents in activities that are both therapeutic and enjoyable, contributing to their overall well-being during their recovery journey at Casitas Care Center.
