Senior Rehabilitation Services at Elite Home Care
When a senior falls or has a major event like a stroke, it's common for them to suffer from injury. After a fall, most seniors will need to see a skilled nursing facility or a physical therapist who specializes in senior rehabilitation care. Luckily for your loved one, Elite Home Care offers on-site PT services to get them the rehabilitation care they need.
When seniors are recovering from a fall, illness or extensive surgery, taking part in a rehab program is the best way for them to see long-term success in full mobility. Unlike direct post-operational care, rehabilitation care is referring to the long-term maintenance it takes to bring your body back to functionality and restoration. We can offer both short-term and long-term rehab services, meaning it could take as little as a month to return functionality or as long as three months for more severe falls or surgeries.
Benefits of Rehabilitation Care for Seniors
The ultimate goal of rehabilitation care is to help older adults get back to independent living with (close to) full functionality. By seeing a physical therapist and sticking to a plan, you could reap the following benefits:
- Reduce the risk of a fall: Because most of our seniors need rehab care after a fall, our team can help them discover techniques to prevent falling or prevent falling on fracture-prone areas. Did you know that 87% of all fractures among older adults are due to falls?
- Lower risk of injury: Rehabilitation care aids seniors with exercises to reduce the risk of another fall due to lack of stability.
- Lower risk of chronic conditions: By seeing a doctor, you are lowering the risk of recurring or chronic conditions like hip and back pain or arthritis.
- Being independent: After completing a rehabilitation program, the likelihood that a senior returns back to independent living increases by nearly 80%!
