Rehabilitation Services - Occupational Therapy
Inpatient & Outpatient
Hours of Operation:
IP: 8:00 am- 4:00 pm
OP: Mon- Fri: 8:00 am - 4:00 pm
Serve
patients across the lifespan including pediatrics, adolescents, adults,
and geriatrics with orthopedic, neurological and cardiopulmonary
conditions, connective tissue disorders, and developmental delays.
Occupational
Therapists provide evaluation and treatment for people with orthopedic
conditions such as arthritis, joint replacement, and osteoporosis;
joint and soft tissue injuries such as fractures and dislocations;
neurologic conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury,
Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis; cardiopulmonary and
circulatory conditions such as congestive heart failure and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease and workplace injuries including
repetitive stress disorders. When a patient sees an occupational
therapist for the first time, they will receive a comprehensive
evaluation, upon which, a plan of care will be developed based on
problem areas identified. Treatment focuses on maximizing
functional independence with their activities of daily living, such as
dressing, bathing, transfer safety, along with functioning needed for
vocational and avocational pursuits. A physician's order is required
for occupational therapy. Occupational therapy services are
provided by NBCOT certified and PA licensed occupational therapists
(OTR) and occupational therapy assistants (COTA), who work under the
supervision of an occupational therapist.
Outpatient
occupational therapy services are available on a regular basis at the
CCMH Rehab Center, Port Allegany and Shinglehouse.
