Friendship Home partners with Select Therapy to offer a fully staffed therapy department that includes Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy. Our therapy staff assisted 15 residents to return to their homes last year and 32 of our long-term care residents to return to their prior level of functioning.

• Cognitive Specialty Program (Claudia Allen)
• Continence Improvement
• Stroke Rehab
• Orthopedic & Fracture Recovery Program
• Fall Intervention Program
• Dysphasia Management
• Pulmonary Program
• Pain Management

Upon admission each resident is assessed and a program is designed for their individual needs. For those residents participating in our “Homeward Bound” program, individualized therapy utilizing cutting edge technology and proven therapeutic programs allows for shorter lengths of stay. Our therapy staff understands the importance of staying active on a daily basis for long-term residents. We provide therapies that allow for our residents to improve their quality of life and continue to enjoy their activities of interest.

Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy
All our therapists and therapy assistants are part of our interdisciplinary team of professionals who will help you define and work toward your individual rehabilitation goals. Physical therapy helps with strength and balance, while occupational therapy helps improve fine motor skills for the job of living, addressing areas such as bathing, dressing and eating. Speech therapy helps overcome speaking or swallowing difficulties. Therapy services are available for long-term residents as well as our short-term Homeward Bound patients.

Pre-Registration for Rehabilitation:
We are pleased to offer pre-registration for our rehabilitation services. You plan for an elective surgery, so why not pre-plan your recovery afterwards? Our pre-registration process is simple, includes a free in-home assessment (optional), and a workbook to guide you through pre-operative planning and post-operative recovery.
