High-Intensity Therapy Services

We provide a comprehensive suite of therapies tailored to high-acuity recovery:

Physical Therapy (PT):

Focused on gait training, fall prevention, and lower-extremity strength. We utilize advanced mobility aids to help residents regain their “walking confidence” after joint replacement or fractures.

Occupational Therapy (OT):

We focus on “Activities of Daily Living” (ADLs). Our OT suite helps residents relearn how to dress, cook, and manage personal hygiene safely.

Speech-Language Pathology (SLP):

Essential for post-stroke recovery, focusing on cognitive-linguistic retraining and Dysphagia (swallowing) therapy.

Our Interdisciplinary Clinical Team

Your recovery is managed by a “Roundtable of Experts” who meet weekly to adjust your care plan:

Physiatrists (Rehab Physicians):

Overseeing the medical direction of your therapy.

Rehabilitation Nurses:

Providing 24/7 medical oversight and pain management.

Social Workers & Case Managers:

Handling the complex logistics of discharge planning and equipment procurement for your eventual return home.

Larchwood Care facilities work with patients and their families to ensure that patients thrive within their capabilities, maximizing their quality of life.
