Physical
Rehabilitation
The Center at Arrowhead serves patients needing physical
rehabilitation and/or complex nursing care. Our highly qualified, caring
staff provides care in a beautiful, hotel-like atmosphere to help our patients
achieve strength and functionality. With state-of-the-art equipment and
unparalleled comfort and amenities, our physician-driven care plan is designed
to maximize the quality of our care.
At The Center at Arrowhead each patient has access to
physical, occupational, and speech therapy services. Patients are
provided up to 720 minutes per week, or an average of approximately 2.5 hours
of therapy per day over a 5 day minimum. You will have the opportunity to
work with both a physical and occupational therapist as we know your recovery
is very important.
Your physical therapists will address walking, range of motion,
strengthening, balance, and management of stairs and/or inclines. Your
occupational therapists will address daily tasks that may have become quite
challenging to you. These specific tasks are activities such as
showering, grooming, daily hygiene, dressing, cleaning, cooking, and
laundry. Occupational therapists also address balance issues, and upper
body strengthening. Depending on the status of your health, you may or
may not need speech therapy services. Speech therapists, also known as
speech pathologists, address verbal and non-verbal communication deficits,
cognitive functions such as medication management, check book management, and
memory, and specialize in swallowing disorders also known as dysphagia.
During your stay here at The Center at Arrowhead you will
be provided equipment needed to facilitate your rehabilitation. These
items may include a walker, wheelchair, and bedside commode. While these
items are for your use while you are our guest, we will be sure to get brand
new ones ordered for you upon discharge if you are finding them necessary for
use during your daily routine after you leave The Center.
Prior to your discharge, your therapist will offer you a home
evaluation. Usually this will occur several days prior to leaving our
facility. One of your therapists will follow you to your home for a brief
visit at which time they will have you complete basic tasks in the home, and
make recommendations for any home modifications or equipment you may need.
We look forward in assisting you in your full recovery and are
honored you are considering The Center at Arrowhead to care for you.
