Allegany Health Nursing and Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation Services

We take great pride in our ability to return patients to their highest functional levels. Working in conjunction with nursing and social work, our rehabilitation staff ensures maximum recovery for all residents.

How can we achieve such remarkable results?

Our partnership with Anchor Rehabilitation enables us to provide each patient with the highest quality rehabilitative care possible. Anchor’s sole focus is geriatric rehabilitation, so their 30 years of experience providing therapy to the senior community ensures our patients receive specialized Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapy that’s just right for seniors.

Anchor’s Physical therapy uses specifically designed exercises, treatments, and equipment to improve physical abilities including balance, strength, and mobility.

Anchor’s Occupational therapy uses a holistic approach to help patients adapt to recent limitations or disabilities caused by illness or injury - to restore old skills or teach new ones. Treatment focuses on activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming and feeding as well as problem-solving, safety and organizational skills.

Anchor’s Speech therapy helps individuals with communication and/or swallowing disorders and may include evaluation of speech, language, voice, swallowing and cognitive or “thinking” skills such as memory, decision-making and safety.

Using specialized equipment and treatment regimens from Accelerated Care Plus (ACP), our therapists provide effective treatment for a variety of conditions such as surgical wounds, stroke recovery, pressure ulcers, urinary incontinence, peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, fall prevention, total knee and hip replacement, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, contractures, and pain management.

In addition to our therapy department, our nurse-directed restorative program helps our permanent residents maintain the highest level of function and independence possible. The restorative aide is responsible for carrying out the individualized exercise and walking programs designed in collaboration with the restorative nurse and Anchor therapists.
