About Rehabilitation
If you’re recovering from injury, illness or surgery, Samaritas Senior Living of
Cadillac provides exemplary rehabilitation therapy on both a short-term and long-
term basis. Our rehabilitation area provides a spacious environment, a wide array of
equipment and dedicated therapists to assist our residents in their therapy sessions.
Upon completion of your therapy, our rehabilitation team will provide you with a
comprehensive discharge plan for your return home.
Rehabilitation therapy at Samaritas Senior Living of Cadillac includes:
• Physical therapy to strengthen muscles and improve walking, balance, and mobility
after a fall or a fracture and promote higher levels of functioning
• Occupational therapy to improve arm and hand movement in activities of daily
living like dressing and bathing
• Speech and language therapy to improve eating, swallowing, cognitive and language
skills following a stroke or brain injury
Samaritas Senior Living of Cadillac also has a restorative division, which has been
designed to help residents optimize and maintain their abilities to self-perform activities
for daily living (ADLs) such as toileting, eating, bathing, dressing and hygiene, by
utilizing a combination of walking, exercise and range of motion programs.
Residents work very closely with therapy staff to develop a strong trusting relationship as
they work on their journey to health. Often, the same therapists providing care during
their short-term rehabilitation stay are able to follow our patients home to continue
with their therapy needs.
