Wellness Center
On-site services provided by Select Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is an essential element for restoring health and wellness. In our Wellness Center, we are partnered with Select Rehabilitation to help our residents achieve their rehabilitation goals.
A national leader in therapy services, Select Rehab provides outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy services to our residents. The rehab team utilizes purposeful and functional interventions designed to promote health, prevent injury and disability, and sustain or restore the highest level of independence possible.
Utilizing a team approach, the Select Rehab therapists work closely with clients, families, physicians, and our care team. Therapists will evaluate, plan, provide and continually reassess the plan of care for each client to ensure that the optimal level of services are provided and to achieve the best outcomes possible.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists focus on:
- gait and mobility
- balance
- fall prevention
- therapeutic exercise
- pain management
- assessment of adaptive equipment needs
Physical therapists also work with individuals to prevent mobility loss by developing fitness and wellness programs for healthier and more active lifestyles. Through physical therapy, clients are able to improve their muscle strength and coordination following injury or illness.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists help people who may have lost some of their ability to perform important life functions such as:
- eating
- bathing and dressing
- ordinary activities like cooking, doing laundry or other tasks.
Occupational therapists play a crucial role in assisting clients in establishing a safe home environment, providing home modification as needed, and assisting with equipment needs. Our occupational therapists develop customized plans and objectives to address your self-care, vocational, and leisure goals.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy helps clients who have suffered a stroke or other injury to re -learn how to communicate through speaking, reading or writing. Speech therapy also helps those who have difficulty chewing or swallowing during meals, and helps improve memory skills so the patient can perform tasks like managing medications or getting help in emergency situations.
We incorporate physical exercises to strengthen the muscles used in speech, use speech drills to improve clarity, and incorporate sound-production practice to improve articulation. We also provide cognitive training and methods for communicating with the hearing impaired.
New Fall Prevention Technology
VirtuSense Technology created a fall prevention solution powered by innovative artificial intelligence (AI), VSTBalance, and we now offer it inside our Wellness Center.
The VSTBalance sensor tracks how residents move during several standardized assessments. The sensor picks up movement variations down to millimeters for highly detailed data.
The AI solution interprets the assessment results and determines a data-driven, definitive fall-risk percentage. Clinicians in our Wellness Center then use the solution to create a care plan that targets the resident’s deficits. This technology is brought to Paradise Pointe to help minimize falls by identifying the root causes of why they may be happening.
Benefits of VSTBalance
- Reduces Post-Acute Care Falls by 73%
- Improved Mobility for AL / IL Residents by 85%
- Reports with objective data assist in identifying early deficits that can be addressed by skilled treatment
- Engaging biofeedback activities that seniors love and assist in reducing falls and improving mobility
