Types of Therapy

Our Rehabilitation and Wellness program integrates traditional and alternative therapies based on the needs of individual guests.

• Physical therapy. Using customized exercises and therapies, our physical therapy professionals help people of all ages increase strength, relieve pain and increase mobility.

• Occupational therapy.When health conditions limit a person’s ability to manage the activities of daily life, our team of occupational therapists help guests remain as independent as possible with customized treatment programs and adaptive recommendations.

• Speech therapy. Our speech therapy professionals and language pathologists work with guests to resolve communication, memory, eating and swallowing problems.

• Therapeutic recreation. Therapeutic recreation uses life skills, leisure activities, recreation and play to promote health and wellness while helping people lead full and satisfying lives.
