What is Outpatient Rehabilitation?
Outpatient rehabilitation is often the next step after an inpatient hospitalization on the road to recovery. Outpatient rehabilitation teaches people who have become disabled as a result of trauma/injury, illness/disease or planned/unplanned surgery, how to make the most out of life – physically, mentally, and socially.
Our goal is to restore the highest level of functional ability of individuals and help them learn successful strategies in accomplishing activities of daily living, such as walking, dressing, communicating with others, and/or preparing a meal. Mastery of these types of skills allows our patients to become reintegrated into the home, workplace, and society as a whole.
Community Outreach Programs
We also offer community support programs that provide activities, assistance and information to people with disabilities and their caregivers.
- The Physical Therapy Department facilitates two group classes
- a low-impact exercise group on Wednesdays and Fridays at noon for individuals who need to maintain physical functionality, yet require a low-impact approach
- a group class designed to help people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease
- Our Speech Therapy Department conducts a weekly stroke support group for adults with speech and language impairment. This meeting provides education, social interaction and opportunities to improve communication skills for members and their caregivers.
For more information about these community outreach programs, contact us at (626) 397-3801.
