There are many reasons for a doctor to send patients straight from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility including: surgery; injury; broken bones such as hips, backs, or knees; stroke; heart attack; and serious illness. Each of these ailments require both hospital care as well as rehabilitative care targeted towards the re-acquisition of basic life skills and abilities.
Our Rehabilitation Vision:
We understand each patient is pausing a lifestyle that is full of activities and purpose. Our rehab programs are designed to get each patient back on their feet in ways that are meaningful and familiar.
Once an injury or illness has occurred, treatment is the obvious priority. Fix the problem. Whether that’s a new hip, a round of antibiotics, or serious surgery, the immediate goal is to treat what ails us. But then what? After a traumatic physical event we are left weak, unable to carry out tasks that were once simple. If a patient has suffered a stroke, they may need to learn how to re-use an entire side of their body or possibly learn how to live with their new body, one that does not function quite the way it did before. If a patient has a new hip or knee, they will need to slowly learn how to walk again. This may seem extreme but it’s very common – rehabilitation is a major part of any recovery process.
What many people don’t know is that rehabilitation comes in a variety forms. What we offer at Upland Rehabilitation & Care Center includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Physical Therapy – targeted to develop, maintain, and restore maximum movement, strength, and functional ability.
Occupational Therapy – working to restore functional skills like sensory motor integration (these include the five classic senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste), coordination , and fine motor skills (small movements that occur in the hands, wrists, fingers, feet, toes, lips and tongue).
Speech Therapy – Rehabilitation treatment focused on improving speech, language, cognition, voice, and the ability to swallow.
In addition, our in-house rehab team customizes every therapy program to meet the individual needs of each resident. The rehab rooms are energetic with state of the art equipment to help get residents back on their feet as soon as possible.
Rehabilitation is not easy but the value is incalculable.
