Turlock Nursing & Rehabilitation Center offers the residents and community the skills of a dynamic rehabilitation team. The Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapist strive to achieve the highest functioning abilities for each participant in the rehab program. Residents, outpatients, and community members are guided in their goals with treatment planning from the skilled therapists.

State-of-the-art modalities are used to enhance the treatment of the residents. The use of electrical stimulation, ultrasound, short wave diathermy, and paraffin, along with other treatment techniques like neuro-muscular stretch, joint mobilization, and therapeutic exercises are successfully used as approaches for contracture management, wound healing, pain control, and weakness.

Urinary incontinence is a common problem among the geriatric population. We offer a program, which focuses on strengthening the bladder muscles and reducing the incidence of incontinence.

Also, we are fortunate to have a cardio-pulmonary rehab program. The program is physician directed and provides an individualized treatment plan. It is a multidisciplinary team and includes diagnostic testing, education and training, therapeutic exercise, bronchial hygiene, activities of daily living and case management.

Turlock Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is one of the few facilities that use Nautilus equipment specifically designed for the geriatric population. We have a Community Wellness Program which offers three classes; two classes meet three times a week and one class meets two times a week to take advantage of this special equipment. Research has shown that regular strengthening exercise helps improve the quality of life and maintain independence.
