Rehabilitation Services
 

The Beth Sholom rehabilitation team is committed to providing quality clinical programs to meet the needs of the residents and outpatients in the community. 

We offer Physical , Occupational and Speech services 6 days a week. 

Our program has grown so much over the past year we now have the luxury of having 2 gyms.  One gym caters to the long-term care residents of the Village with specialized equipment; while the other caters to our short-term skilled and outpatient population.  We have cutting edge modality equipment and exercise equipment.

 

Physical Therapy Services 

Physical therapy is designed to re-educate muscles to work, to retain other parts of the body to function for those parts which cannot, and to teach clients how to manage with their disability with or without equipment.  This education process is performed mainly through exercises and through functional skill training.  Our physical therapy program concentrates on mobility in bed, in a wheelchair, or when walking.  This is accomplished by mobility training, strengthening and range of motion exercises, and balance and coordination exercises.  With exercises, various modalities may be used, including electrical stimulation, ultrasound, biofeedback, heat and cold.
