After undergoing surgery or other initial treatments, your doctor may require that you be placed in a short-term, sub-acute rehabilitation setting before returning home to live independently again. Fortunately, the Crown Heights Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation offers such a program to help “bridge that gap” between hospital and home environment.

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy is the treatment of a disease/s or condition/s by physical or mechanical means, such as through exercise, physical agent modalities like heat, or electrical stimulus. A physical therapist provides these treatments and will also provide education, instruction, and support for recovery.

 

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives. It gives people the "skills for the job of living" necessary for independent and satisfying lives. Services typically include ADL retraining, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular reeducation, home training, etc.

 

Speech Therapy

The Speech-Language Pathologist assesses the impact of any communication or cognitive difficulties in the resident’s ability to function independently.  Through individualized programs, the speech-language pathologist also works with individuals who have difficulty with swallowing, the medical term of this being, dysphasia.  The speech-language pathologist creates a program and provides a recommendation for each resident regarding appropriate mealtime management and safety, compensatory strategies, and follow up care.

 

Our innovative rehabilitation program, utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and technologies including:

• Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)
