Older adults are susceptible to falls, fractures and other
injuries. Rehabilitation therapy addresses a number of frailties
that may occur in older adults, and helps them maintain
their health and enjoy a higher quality of life. It can
speed the recovery process from an injury and help an older
person avoid future mishaps.
The
JAA offers outpatient rehabilitation services to the public
through the Charles M. Morris Nursing and Rehabilitation
Center.
Highly-trained staff
The Morris Center houses a rehabilitation
department staffed by physical, occupational and speech therapists
who are experts in geriatric rehabilitation. Our excellent
staff of therapists can assist you or your family member to
improve or maintain functional skills.
Preventive medicine
While many people don’t seek therapy
until after an accident, surgery, or injury, therapy is even
more effective as preventive medicine. By providing hands-on
treatment and consultation in mobility, activities-of-daily-living,
communication and swallowing, it may be possible to prevent
premature decline.
Effective wellness and prevention programs
can reduce the risk for falls, fractures, head trauma, burns,
depression and functional decline, thus avoiding expensive
hospital and/or nursing facility admissions.
Medicare covers therapy
Skilled maintenance programs provided
by physical, occupational and speech/language therapists are
covered by Medicare. These services include an evaluation
by a licensed therapist, program development, and training
for the client and caregivers. The purpose of the skilled
maintenance program is to assist the client to attain or maintain
his/her highest functional level in the least restrictive
environment.
Clients must have a physician’s
referral to be eligible for treatment.
