Rehab to Home

Occupational Therapy (OT): OT focuses on maximizing level of function and safety with daily activities through modification of task or environment, use of adaptive equipment and compensatory strategies. OT can help address deficits in upper extremity strength or coordination, activities of daily living (dressing, toileting, self-feeding, grooming, etc), wheelchair positioning, and safety awareness.

Physical Therapy (PT): The goal of PT is to promote mobility and function. PT works directly with residents to help increase mobility and decrease pain. PT can help address deficits in lower extremity strength, ambulation, functional transfers, stair negotiation, balance, pain, contractures, and activity tolerance. PT also can assist with assistive device training including use of walker or cane.

Bethany is proud to partner with Blue Stone Therapy Solutions to provide you with the best therapy experience.  An Iowa based company Blue Stone Therapy Solutions is celebrating its 10th year in business.

Speech Therapy (ST): ST can help residents with many types of communication and swallowing disorders. Treatments can enhance the resident’s quality of life by improving swallowing and communication. ST can help dress deficits in speech intelligibility, swallowing, voice quality, auditory comprehension, expressive language, problem solving, and safety awareness.

The skilled personnel attending to every need while supporting us through the difficult moments. Mom was treated with dignity and respect and for that I will be forever grateful to the wonderful staff. You are all truly angels. Thank you.

The experience is both a give and take, and you must be willing to share your experiences with them but also be willing to listen to their stories. Each of you takes something away from the experience.

You learn something every day from other people. As a deaf person, they respect me and are patient with me. Activities keep everyone busy and social so they aren’t confined to their rooms. All staff are all really good to me and friendly. I don’t have anything negative to say about staff.

I have worked at Bethany Lutheran Home for 17 years and have chosen to work in the Memory Care unit, which is a big enjoyment for me. The memory care unit is very busy. You work with these people every day and you form a bond with them. I have enjoyed working in the unit and learning about different behaviors. I have formed bonds with these people and would not have it any other way!
