Laurel Ridge Rehabilitation
Our center is committed to providing the medical care, therapy, and support you need.
At Laurel Ridge Rehabilitation and Nursing Center our wide array of services enables our patients and residents to receive the medical care they need, the restorative therapy they require, and the support they and their families deserve. We serve many types of patient and resident needs – from short-term rehabilitation to traditional long-term care.
Working with your physician, our staff – including medical specialists, nurses, nutritionists, therapists, dietitians and social workers – establishes a comprehensive treatment plan intended to restore you or your loved one to the fullest practicable potential.
Our center takes care of people who have complex medical conditions that require brief or prolonged treatment. Typically, these patients have medical conditions that require the expertise of an interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals. The team includes the patient or resident’s attending physician, medical specialists, therapists, registered and licensed nurses, social workers, registered dietitians, activity directors and nursing assistants.
Upon admission to our center, all patients and residents are assessed by members of our interdisciplinary team to determine what care is required and a comprehensive, customized treatment plan is developed. Patients are assisted to reach their goals for recovery in a home-like environment by our team of caring and highly-qualified healthcare professionals, helping each patient and resident reach his or her highest level of functioning.
The individuals we serve include those experiencing gradual memory decline or other memory, behavior and medical complications.
Our staff is trained in clinical care and is well-versed in the recent advances in dementia and Alzheimer’s. In addition, they:
-
participate in ongoing in-service training - communicate with an emphasis on understanding non-verbal behavior
- intervene creatively when it comes to behavior problems
- focus on what residents can do instead of what they cannot do
Our commitment to our residents is also demonstrated through our involvement in the Alzheimer’s Association A Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We are dedicated to educating the public and generating awareness about the disease as well as contributing to research to find a cure.
Keeping our patients and residents involved in interesting and varied activities and events is one more way we promote healing and recovery.
We have a staff of certified activities professionals who create and coordinate activities at our center. Activities are tailored to a resident’s and patient’s individual interests and abilities and include:
- outdoor pursuits
- entertainment and audience participation
- games and other activities to sharpen mental abilities
- spiritual enhancement and reflection
These are just a few examples of the full slate of activities we provide at our center.
