services
Rehabilitation services are provided at the MCMCF through Agility Health, one of the top 10 rehabilitation service organizations in the United States. Working closely with the staff, it is their responsibility to preserve your rights for quality of life. While we recognize that not everyone may completely restore function, it is the therapist's responsibility to identify each resident's skill, needs and opportunities and to design and implement care plans to maximize your strengths and abilities and prevent decline.
The role of the therapy department is to focus on your abilities, interests, learning potential, functional needs, and realistic outcomes. Each therapist will provide treatment to you in the fullest capacity involving all inter-disciplinary team members. Appropriate restorative programs can help assure that you have not just gained the ability to do something, but you are able to perform at that level (stability) on an ongoing basis. The rehabilitation team is made up of occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech therapists. Partnered with the facility team, your success is our goal.
The therapies offered fall into three main categories. Additional information is available by clicking on the appropriate link below:
