We offer physical,
occupational, and speech therapy services through our partnership with
Alliance Rehab, HVA. Alliance Rehab specializes in helping senior care
facilities such as the Villas at St. Paul Homes serve the needs of older
adults seeking to maintain maximum functional levels.
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists help people improve
their ability to perform tasks of daily living. They work with
residents who have conditions that are physically, mentally and emotionally
challenging. Their goal is to help residents develop recover or
maintain skills for daily living.
Speech Therapy Our speech therapists
work with residents who are challenged with speech including making speech
sounds, fluency and rhythm, speech quality, and difficulty producing
language. They help residents who have cognitive impairments such as
attention, memory, and problem solving disorders. The therapists also
work with residents who have eating and swallowing difficulties..
Physical
Therapy Our physical therapists help
residents to restore their highest level of function, improve their
mobility, and to relieve their pain. The therapists' goal is to
restore, maintain and promote each resident's overall health and fitness.
Accelerated Care Plus
We have incorporated Accelerated Care Plus or ACP
into our therapy department to increase treatment options for our residents.
The physical agent modalities we provide through ACP include e-stim,
ultrasound, and diathermy. Using these modalities, trained physical and
occupational therapy staff members can help our residents to decrease pain
and edema, increase tissue healing and range of motion, and improve
continence.
St. Paul Homes works with Dr. Stephen Paxson. Dr. Paxson is a physician of physical medicine and work
closely with our therapy staff as well as nursing, restorative care and
dietary to insure complete care for residents who are rehabilitating.
Restorative Nursing is an active program at
St. Paul’s that is guided under the direction of a licensed practical nurse.
Restorative activities help our residents improve or maintain their
independence as long as possible. Our goal is to aid residents in
achieving optimum physical, emotional, psychological, and social potential
in order to maintain dignity and self-respect in a life that is as
independent and self-fulfilling as possible. The restorative program
is nursing staff working closely with physicians and therapists to develop
the best guidelines for each resident’s personal program and to work
together to keep our residents happy, active, and independent as long as
possible.
Senior FITness at St. Paul Homes
is designed to improve our residents' quality of life by increasing their
independence and ability to successfully perform activities of daily living.
Senior FITness provides personalized instruction and supervision for each
participant, ADL based strengthening equipment, and fitness outcome
measurements to monitor improvement. Senior FITness also provides
management of chronic disease and disabilities through fitness programs.
