What is EmpowerMe?

EmpowerMe is an on-site therapy program designed to help promote independence for residents by offering individualized care and access to our specialized programs. This comprehensive approach includes services such as physical therapy for seniors, occupational therapy for seniors, and speech therapy for seniors, all tailored to meet the unique needs of older adults. In addition, our wellness program for seniors emphasizes functional mobility and cognitive fitness to support overall well-being.

A three step approach to wellness

1. Once a skilled therapy need has been identified, we will verify your insurance benefits and obtain an order from your physician.

2. We will complete an initial evaluation. This is when we get to know YOU and YOUR rehabilitation goals.

3. Our therapists will create a custom plan of care to help you achieve your personal goals. They will ensure that it incorporates the right combination of services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, as needed.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Our physical therapy for seniors focuses on exercises that build endurance and strengthen the body. It also addresses swelling, joint pain, and limited range of motion, offering balance training and fall reduction techniques to keep residents safe and active.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Through occupational therapy for seniors, we provide training on essential functional skills to help individuals complete daily tasks independently. This therapy improves abilities such as transferring in and out of the tub, shower, bed, and car, making everyday life more manageable.

SPEECH THERAPY

Our specialized speech therapy for seniors enhances swallowing skills by strengthening muscles, improving expressive and receptive communication, and addressing cognitive retraining to support effective communication and mental clarity.

WELLNESS PROGRAM

Our wellness program for seniors includes individualized or small-group sessions designed to enhance functional mobility and cognitive fitness. This proactive approach helps residents maintain independence while improving their overall quality of life.
