Empowering Seniors on Their Road to Recovery

As we age, our bodies may require additional care and attention to recover. Whether from surgeries, injuries, or illnesses, short-term rehabilitation becomes crucial during these times. Fortunately, UMC at Collingswood stands as a beacon of hope and healing for seniors in need. With its specialized therapies, expert team, and supportive environment, our premier senior living community in Camden County, New Jersey empowers seniors on their road to recovery. Here’s how:

Specialized, All-Encompassing Care

UMC at Collingswood’s short-term rehabilitation services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. The dedicated rehabilitation team utilizes evidence-based therapies, experienced techniques, and state-of-the-art equipment to maximize seniors’ healing potential. Whether recovering from joint replacement surgery, a stroke, or a fall, seniors in our care benefit from a comprehensive range of physical, occupational, and speech therapies.

Physical Therapy plays a vital role in restoring seniors’ mobility and strength. Our highly skilled therapists design personalized exercise programs to improve balance, flexibility, and overall physical function. From therapeutic exercises to gait training, they work closely with their residents, motivating and guiding them through each step of the recovery process.

Occupational Therapy is for seniors seeking to regain independence in their daily activities through effective and attainable solutions. Occupational therapists in our program assess seniors’ functional abilities and develop strategies to overcome their unique challenges. They provide guidance on adaptive equipment, teach energy conservation techniques, and enhance fine motor skills, ultimately empowering seniors to improve their quality of life.

Speech Therapy is another integral component of short-term rehabilitation at Collingswood. Speech-language pathologists on-site work with seniors who may have experienced difficulty with speech or swallowing due to strokes, Parkinson’s disease, or other complex medical conditions. Through targeted exercises and strategies, speech therapy helps seniors regain communication skills that could make their day-to-day lives significantly easier.
