Short-term care is temporary medical aftercare following a surgery, injury, illness, or other medical condition that is expected to improve. Services typically last several weeks or a few months, or sometimes longer depending on the severity of the condition being treated.
Long-term care is ideal for seniors or others with chronic or progressive medical conditions, especially when the level of care exceeds what loved ones can provide on their own. Skilled nursing facilities are staffed 24/7 by medical professionals trained to deal with any health issues that might arise, giving loved ones and patients peace of mind.
Respite programs provide planned short-term and time-limited breaks for families and other unpaid care givers of adults with an intellectual disability, and adults with cognitive loss in order to support and maintain the primary care-giving relationship. Respite also provides a positive experience for the person receiving care.
End of Life Care is a type of health care that focuses on the palliation of a terminally ill patient’s pain and symptoms and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs at the end of life. End of Life Care prioritizes comfort and quality of life by reducing pain and suffering.
Physical Therapists focus on identifying deficits in lower extremity strength, range of motion and balance, and on determining how these functions impact a patient’s overall ability to move around safely in their normal environment. Typical treatment plans may involve exercise, joint and soft tissue mobilization, gait training, functional training (such as getting in and out of a bed or chair), modalities to decrease pain and increase strength (such as Ultra-Sound), wound care, and patient/family education.
Occupational Therapists work to help maximize independence with activities of daily living which could include tasks such as grooming, dressing, bathing, cooking, and community mobility. Other areas of concentration can include: Wheelchair assessments, adaptive equipment procurement and customization, activities to improve endurance, and upper extremity skill and use.
Speech-Language Pathologists focus on assessing and treating problems related to communication, including speech production, language comprehension, voice disorders, word finding, memory changes, and use of alternative communication devices, while providing education for patients/family to optimize communication. Speech-Language Pathologists additionally treat swallowing disorders (dysphagia) that could lead to aspiration of food or drinks.
