Meeting the Unique Needs of Senior Citizens at Edgewood Health and Rehab
As seniors age, they require unique healthcare and rehabilitation services to ensure they live their best possible life. At Edgewood Health and Rehab, we understand these unique needs and offer specialized care to meet them.
Understanding the Unique Needs of Seniors
As people age, their bodies and minds undergo significant changes that require specialized care. Seniors require a variety of healthcare and rehabilitation services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and more. These services help seniors maintain mobility, prevent falls, and manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease.
Edgewood’s Approach to Senior Care
At Edgewood Health and Rehab, we take a holistic approach to senior care. We understand that seniors have unique physical, emotional, and social needs, and we work to meet those needs in a compassionate and effective manner. Our team is highly trained in senior care and uses evidence-based therapies and techniques to provide the best possible outcomes.
Physical Therapy for Seniors
Physical therapy is an important part of senior care at Edgewood. We offer a range of physical therapy services, including strength training, balance training, and fall prevention. Our therapists work with seniors to help them maintain their mobility and prevent falls, which are a significant risk for seniors.
Occupational Therapy for Seniors
Occupational therapy is another key component of senior care at Edgewood. Our occupational therapists work with seniors to improve their ability to perform daily activities, such as dressing, grooming, and cooking. They also help seniors recover from surgeries, strokes, or other health conditions that require rehabilitation.
Speech Therapy for Seniors
Seniors often experience changes in their speech and swallowing abilities as they age. At Edgewood, our speech therapists work with seniors to improve their communication and swallowing abilities, which can greatly enhance their quality of life.

He received physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help him regain his mobility, improve his ability to perform daily activities, and restore his speech abilities. After several weeks of therapy, John was able to return home feeling confident and capable.
