Ascend Rehabilitation provides a wide range of traditional and specialty therapy and wellness programs for older adults through a comprehensive continuum of care. Wherever you are in your health and wellness journey, we’ll meet you there and stay with you every step of the way.
We offer inpatient, outpatient, and home-based services, as well as specialty programs to address specific needs of seniors and fitness and wellness programs for community members. Our goal is to keep older adults safe, active and independent.
Our highly-individualized plans, typically covered by insurance and ordered by physicians, promote independence and safety.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Physical therapy improves quality of life by restoring the ability to move. Our physical therapists focus on posture, balance, strength, pain management, ability to get in and out of bed and chairs, walking and navigating stairs without fear of falling.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Occupational therapy maximizes seniors’ abilities to manage daily activities, including bathing, dressing and household tasks like cooking, cleaning or money management. By achieving greater independence and freedom, older adults confidently participate in more activities of choice and engage in social pursuits.
SPEECH THERAPY
Speech therapy focuses on the ability to speak, understand and swallow. Communicating wants and needs and the ability to enjoy a meal while socializing with others are critical for a fulfilling life.
Specialty programs include:
