About Rehabilitation

If you’re recovering from injury, illness or surgery, Samaritas Senior Living of
Saginaw 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 Saginaw 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 Saginaw 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.
