By helping residents regain and maintain their maximum level of independence, the Rehabilitation Department team encourages Sea View’s residents to live as actively and with as much dignity as possible.

Our licensed and registered staff of therapists works closely with each resident’s physician and family to develop a personalized, outcome-based treatment plan. The rehabilitation team communicates regularly with the nursing staff and other departments to ensure that treatment objectives are integrated each day throughout Sea View.

Sea View’s rehabilitation programs meet all Medicare, state and federal requirements.

Massage Therapy

Specially trained and certified, the massage therapist’s relaxing treatments help guests release muscle tension. Massage promotes better health and well-being and also provides a special way to reach our non-communicative residents. Complimentary mini-massages are offered to all our guests and individual sessions are available

Short-Term Rehabilitation Care

Some patients who have had a stroke, an orthopedic fracture or other debilitating episode may not be ready to immediately return to their homes after a hospital stay. Sea View offers short-term transitional care, including home visits, discharge planning and family training to help patients learn the skills and strategies they’ll need to cope with their environments back home.

Rehabilitation services available at Sea View include:

Physical Therapy

Through exercise, coordination, endurance building and training programs, physical therapists focus on improving functional mobility activities such as walking, transferring from bed to wheelchair and climbing stairs. Among other services, physical therapists also evaluate wheelchairs and instruct residents about personal safety.

Occupational Therapy

To help our residents maximize independence in their daily lives with tasks like bathing, dressing and grooming, occupational therapists work on programs to build strength and improve coordination. Occupational therapists also offer training to help residents properly use adaptive devices and develop new skills to compensate for loss of function.

Speech-Language Therapy

By working on strategies to improve language, articulation, cognition and hearing, speech-language pathologists help residents with both receptive and expressive communication. Residents with swallowing difficulties also benefit from speech-language therapy programs.
