Rehabilitation

Our rehabilitation program focuses on helping patients  recover from injuries and acute illnesses so that they may return home  after hospitalization for treatment of debilitating diseases and  traumatic injuries. We offer professional, full-time, "in-house",  Physical, Occupational, and Speech/Language therapies to both our acute  and long-term residents. While our skilled nursing staff attends to  medical needs, our therapists help restore strength, range of motion,  eating and communication abilities and many other daily skills.


Families and/or caregivers are invited to  participate in the therapy experience so that they may be trained in the  safe and effective care of the patient upon discharge, if needed.  Forest Street's therapy team is prepared to visit a patient's home and  make specific recommendations about safety equipment or other provisions  that may be needed for the patient to successfully return home. We will  also assist in arranging home therapy or nursing services, if these  services are considered necessary for returning home.


Physical Therapy – Ambulation, balance, restoration of muscle strength, range of motion, wound care.


Occupational Therapy – Hand and arm function, self-care & feeding, activities of daily living.


Speech Therapy – Speech/language recovery, oral motor functioning, swallowing, dementia.

Long Term Care

For patients needing long-term care, Forest Street's  program provides 24-hour licensed nursing care in conjunction with other  specially trained professionals to assure maintenance of the highest  level of functioning and quality of life for each resident. Our warm,  friendly environment, personalized approach to care, and dedicated staff  combine to ensure the delivery of optimal service to our extended stay  patients and their families.


We take an integrated, multidisciplinary  approach to each resident's care. Skilled nurses monitor and respond to  changes or declines in the resident's physical condition. Dietary staff  remain abreast of changes in eating habits, swallowing problems, or  significant weight changes. Activity staff note for changes in social  patterns and communication. Social Services observe for any altering in  attitudes or behavior. Working collaboratively, the team strives to  create and maintain a safe, comfortable, and dignified environment for  our long-term residents. At Forest Street Compassionate Care Center, our  staff takes seriously the trust that is placed upon them when a beloved  family member is brought to our facility for care.


For those caregivers needing respite for their  loved one, Forest Street Compassionate Care Center also offers this  service. Please contact one of our social services representatives to  further pursue this assistance.
