Physical therapy is an integral part of each resident’s activities of daily living.

Programs and services include spa therapy, splinting, positioning on adaptive equipment, and person centered one-on-one goal work to promote independence. Physical therapy services help ensure the safety and overall health of our residents, improving their quality of life and helping prevent further problems. The department works closely with the other members of the interdisciplinary team, which includes nursing, special education, and the case manager.

Extensive training is provided to direct care professionals who in turn use the skills to incorporate the physical therapy principles necessary for the 24-hour care of the population we serve. Orthopedic clinics are coordinated with physicians from Charlotte and Gastonia three times per year. All Physical Therapy staff are licensed to practice in the state of North Carolina.
