PHYSICAL THERAPY
The role of Physical Therapy is a non-invasive discipline that helps individuals develop, maintain, and restore maximum body movement and physical function. Physical Therapy can help clients recover from an injury, relieve pain, prevent future injury, or deal with a chronic condition.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Occupational Therapy will address strength, coordination, pain management, and activities of daily living to help develop, recover, improve, and maintain the skills needed for daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and eating.
SPEECH THERAPY
Speech Therapy is the assessment and treatment of speech or language problems. Speech Therapy can also help with swallowing and chewing problems.
RECREATIONAL THERAPY
The Director of Recreation plans a monthly schedule of activities, programs and special events. Every day we are encouraging residents to reclaim their independence and take advantage of the opportunities that we offer at Harbour View.
PET THERAPY
We schedule regular visits from pet therapy groups at our assisted living and Alzheimer’s memory care communities. Animals and pets bring out our nurturing instinct, and provide a source of comfort and are a focus of our attention. They also make us feel safe and unconditionally accepted.
Research has shown that pet therapy can reduce pain symptoms, depression, anxiety and stress. Being around animals makes people feel better, healthier, and happier. Harbour View Senior Living is proud to be a pet-friendly senior living company.
"Dogs - and other pets - live very much in the here and now. They don't worry about tomorrow. And tomorrow can be very scary for an older person. By having an animal with that sense of now, it tends to rub off on people," - Dr Jay P. Granat, a New Jersey psychotherapist.
