Senior Wellness

Physical Therapy

Our Staff Physical Therapist

Joyce K. Matondane, our physical therapist, has been practicing in various clinical settings abroad and in the United States. Her goal is to enhance independence with the senior population.

Physical Therapy

Our physical therapy program is designed to meet the needs of all of our guests in a safe, modern facility that is supervised by a licensed physical therapist and a physician.

Physical therapy covers a broad area of concern, particularly as people age. People growing older develop conditions related to arthritis, osteoporosis, strokes, cancer, hip and joint replacement, balance disorder, incontinence, and general physical decline. Physical therapy when designed around special health needs helps to restore mobility, reduce pain and increase fitness. Is this what we all desire for our patients and ourselves?

You don't have to be a senior to be treated in our physical therapy program. Our clinical staff will evaluate any condition both severe and chronic and develop a program that will meet you needs. Our therapists can take care of complex and chronic physical conditions but we also can do basic rehabilitation for patients expected to have full recovery. Our senior wellness program is different from our entry physical therapy program; both offer the same level of excellence in physical therapy but is coordinated by the physician/ therapist team. All guests will have evaluation by the physician and staff to develop the physical therapy formula that will get the guest back to optimal health. The senior wellness program goes further in developing social activities, daily lunch, transportation assistance and other services that are needed by our senior community.

We are approved and certified by Medicare so that we can provide services that can be covered by both private health and Medicare insurance.
