Our experienced rehabilitation team provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy. We work to empower residents, through individualized programs, to reach goals of increased independence and ability.
We are the only facility in Casa Grande that offers subacute inpatient therapies, as well as outpatient. Our patients can continue living in their own homes and visit us when they are in need of speech, occupational, or physical therapy. This empowers patients to attain their highest functional ability without changing their residence.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy staff works toward specific goals of achieving the resident’s highest functional level of independence. Physical therapy focuses on identification and rehabilitation of individuals with physical impairment and pain, as well as future injury prevention. Following evaluation, our experienced physical therapists develop an individualized treatment program. The goal is to achieve safety in a variety of areas.
Areas of treatment focus may include:
- Increasing strength and mobility in the body and lower extremities
