Our senior health programs
Our comprehensive healthcare services include programs to keep you physically active and emotionally supported.
Exercise programs
Staying physically active is one of the best ways you can stay healthy — mentally and physically. An active lifestyle has been proven to help prevent or delay many diseases and disabilities.
Outpatient physical therapy
Many older adults benefit from physical therapy. If you've suffered from an illness or injury, our physical therapy program can restore your strength, balance and mobility. It also builds confidence and decreases the likelihood of injuries from falls – one of the biggest risks you face as you age. Our skilled physical therapists work with you one-on-one to provide the best care possible in a comfortable and safe environment.
Inpatient rehabilitation
Being as self-sufficient and independent as possible is important for all adults. Caring for yourself builds feelings of self-confidence and worth. If you have suffered a life-changing event through illness, injury or surgery, you may benefit from the structured services our inpatient rehabilitation program can provide. We can help you rediscover your independence.
Behavioral health
For millions of Americans over 65, mental illness interferes with their ability to lead normal, productive lives and inhibits their ability to function. Some of the most common mental health issues you may face as you age include depression, paranoia, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. These are devastating illnesses that greatly affect your physical and emotional well-being. Our behavioral health specialists understand and are committed to helping you return to the highest quality of life possible.
