Member News: Burleson Seniors Receive Comprehensive Therapy with New Partnership
Elk Creek Assisted Living and Memory Care is proud to announce its new partnership with Select Rehabilitation, an esteemed on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy company.
The stress and worry from family members of an elderly loved one experiencing a fall alone in their homes or being unable to move as efficiently is alleviated thanks to Elk Creek’s and Select Rehabilitation’s partnership.
Select Rehabilitation will provide on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as fall prevention technologies to improve residents’ strength, flexibility, endurance, and balance to heighten their quality of life. The therapists will also partner with pharmacy providers and physicians to ensure medications or existing conditions are not influencing falls.
“We believe in providing exceptional care that enhances the lives of the residents,” explains Kaylie Steele, the Executive Director of Elk Creek. “Our collaboration with Select Rehabilitation allows us to offer personalized, comprehensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy services within our community. From post-surgical rehabilitation to managing chronic pain, this partnership promotes healing and improves overall health outcomes.”
Physical therapy in particular has been shown to improve strength, balance, and flexibility among seniors. According to a national study by the American Physical Therapy Association, it can reduce the risk of falls by up to 40 percent and alleviate pain while enhancing cardiovascular health and functional ability.
