Rehabilitative Services

The Baptist Health Nursing and Rehabilitation Center offers excellence in comprehensive rehabilitation services to individuals with disabilities to reach their fullest potential and to facilitate their transition from Baptist Health to family and community. The rehabilitation multi-disciplinary team provides state-of-the-art care for the resident's physical and psycho-social needs.

Physical Therapy

Our experienced physical therapists design individual exercise and treatment programs to restore strength, flexibility, and endurance. A wide range of therapeutic treatmensts is emphasized to improve circulation, strengthen muscles, improve balance and encourage the highest level of functional mobility. While at Baptist Health Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, staff works closely with the resident to stimulate and progress to achieve their maximum level of independent function. When it's possible for the resident to return home, the staff works closely with the family to ensure a smooth transition. Home evaluations are done to assess the need for any modifications, equipment and/or services prior to discharge.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy assists residents with physical and cognitive disabilities to participate in their daily life activities at the most independent level. Occupational Therapists are trained in safety and in the use of assistive devices to maximize independence and prevent injury. All residents admitted to the facility will have an evaluation to determine need for services. Such daily life skills as bathing, dressing, eating, cooking, cleaning and other household skills are addressed.

Speech Therapy

Residents with communication and/or swallowing disorders arising from neurological damage, commonly caused by disabilities such as stroke and head trauma, are evaluated and treated by our Speech and Language Pathologist, Diane Grabo. She is known as an innovative leader and valued resource in the area of speech pathology throughout The Capital Region. Individual treatment programs are developed at Baptist to improve the use of language.
