Park Pointe Healthcare & Rehab is dedicated to providing patient-centered care, designed specifically to address the unique needs of older adults and those requiring geriatric rehabilitation. With the firm belief that rehabilitation should be delivered within a well-structured continuum of care, the team at Park Pointe places each resident at the forefront of its therapeutic approach. Rehabilitation programs, such as neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation, are tailored individually for every resident to ensure that their needs and challenges are addressed comprehensively. The facility also offers weekly visits from an in-house Physiatrist—an on-staff physician specializing in rehabilitative medicine—who plays a crucial role in maximizing and restoring each resident's functional abilities and overall quality of life.
The collaborative approach at Park Pointe Healthcare & Rehab ensures that, together with the Physiatrist, all therapists are trained to think beyond the boundaries of traditional therapy methods. Instead of relying solely on standard rehabilitation practices, therapists explore a spectrum of strategies—whether it might be best to restore, compensate, or adapt for residents experiencing loss of function. This emphasis on comprehensive clinical reasoning allows for consistent, high-quality care across all rehabilitation programs and ensures that the unique circumstances of each resident are always prioritized.
Park Pointe Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center distinguishes itself as one of the few facilities to provide full-time Occupational, Physical, and Speech Therapy services seven days a week. The therapists are exclusively employed by the facility, and their hours are structured to ensure they are always available to meet the evolving needs of the residents. As true members of the care team, these highly qualified therapists play an integral role in guiding residents through their recovery process, always prioritizing the well-being and functionality of every individual under their care.
Physical Therapy offered at Park Pointe involves detailed assessments of underlying challenges such as impairments in strength, range of motion, balance, and endurance that may follow illness or injury. Therapists work closely with residents to help them regain essential functional abilities, such as walking, safely getting in and out of bed, transferring in and out of cars, and effectively using assistive devices like canes or walkers.
For residents facing difficulties with daily living activities or self-care, Park Pointe provides dedicated Occupational Therapy. This service supports individuals with essential tasks, including dressing, bathing, using the bathroom or shower, eating or meal preparation, home management, cognitive skills, orientation, and social abilities. The goal is to empower residents to maintain as much independence as possible throughout their daily lives.
Speech-Language Therapy at Park Pointe addresses a wide range of communication and swallowing challenges. Residents benefit from specialized evaluation and treatment for disorders such as Dysphasia, cognitive deficits, memory issues, language and speech disorders, as well as problems with confusion. Through this therapy, many residents enhance their ability to communicate effectively and safely manage eating, especially if they experience coughing or choking. Overall, the therapeutic programs at Park Pointe Healthcare & Rehab are developed to support residents at every stage of recovery, fostering skill improvement, comfort, and a better quality of life within a caring and responsive environment.
