Therapies to Assist with Aging in Place

Physical Therapy

Physical therapists are the mobility specialists. Our team of skilled PTs can help you with regular motion needs such as getting up from chairs, walking or using a wheelchair and improving overall strength and balance to maintain mobility and reduce risk of falling, so you can make your way to places more safely and easily.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists are the functional specialists. Our OTs can help increase your independence in day-to-day activities and favorite leisure pursuits. Your ability to get dressed, cook meals and take care of pets all get enhanced with OT support to give you as much independence as possible.

Speech Therapy

Speech therapists are our memory specialists, experts in helping with memory preservation and attention through brain exercises and adaptations to help you manage medications, organize calendar events or even remember birthdays of family and friends.

Personalized Care

Successful aging in place and maintaining independence in a residential environment starts with identifying any potential therapy needs. At The Blake, new residents moving in can coordinate with the senior living staff and medical team to begin a screening process to assess current risks. This can include:

Fall risks
Safety in home environment
Safety in community areas
Musculoskeletal deficits
Neurological declines
Cognitive declines

Our therapy team also assists with equipment recommendations and providing home adaptive strategies to ensure each resident’s new home is safe, comfortable and best meets their needs. They’ll continue to engage with residents to address any new medical concerns, collaborating with primary care physicians and working with the resident in their home environment to reach personal and health-related goals.
