Frequently Asked Questions
Is occupational therapy the same as physical therapy?
They are similar in that each helps restore strength and mobility. However, occupational therapy improves a senior’s everyday life by elevating their ability to perform daily tasks, modifying the physical environment, and using adaptive techniques and equipment to increase independence.
What can someone expect from speech therapy?
Our skilled speech and language pathologists address swallowing dysfunction and communication challenges. They design treatment plans for each individual to help with language ability, provide alternate communication techniques, and recommend diet adjustments.
How often will a senior receive therapy services?
Each person receives an individualized treatment plan, based on medical certification by their doctor. Their individual plan addresses their current condition and specific rehabilitation needs. We will provide the most appropriate services as often as the senior’s therapy team recommends.
Who will be involved in providing care?
A team that includes a doctor, nurse, therapists, dietitian and social worker will provide care, guide the rehabilitation process, and work in partnership with the senior and their family members.
Is it necessary to be an Essex Meadows resident?
No. While we are committed to our lifecare residents in independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing, and they are our first priority, senior rehabilitation in Essex, CT, is open to local community individuals through direct admission to the Essex Meadows health center. We are Medicare-certified, accept most major insurance providers, and will guide each senior and their family through the administrative process.
What happens when someone is ready to return home?
Prior to discharge, the rehabilitation team will develop a plan that determines any equipment needs and in-home services that may be required. If a senior needs additional therapy, they may also visit the rehabilitation area on campus to continue outpatient therapy services.
