Medford Multicare Center - Rehab / Therapy

Medford Multicare Center for Living offers Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy. Our Rehab Team is made up of over 20 members who provide therapy 6 days a week, up to 2 hours per day, for our short-term patients and long-term residents.

Our Occupational Therapy Service includes retraining of activities of daily living and functional activities to improve independence, and our Speech Pathologists work with swallowing and vital stimulation of the throat.

At Medford Multicare Center for Living our therapists go the extra mile for the resident. As part of our interdiscipli-nary team, our therapists key in on the needs of the resident and offer patient-centered care.

Goals are established for each client based on their medical assessment and physical and cognitive abilities. Whether the objective is for a rehab patient to go home, or for a patient to return the condition they were in prior to arrival at Medford, we strive to provide the individualized services needed.

Short-Term Rehab: Client and family centered goals are established to optimize the patient’s function with the objective to return home.

In conjunction with our nursing and social work departments, arrangements are coordinated for equipment or services that may be needed in preparation of discharge.

Long-Term Residents: Our long-term residents are assessed upon admission and by our interdisciplinary team. Rehab may be provided, when appropriate, to improve the quality of life of the resident, address a functional decline, increase functional ability and independence, or implement adaptive equipment or braces. Our long-term residents live here, and we realize how important it is to help them maintain as much independence as possible.

Therapy for Ventilator Patients: As part of the interdisciplinary team, our therapists work in attempts to wean ventilator patients, to build endurance, on activities of daily living, and on ambulation, when appropriate. Our goal for our ventilator patients is to improve their quality of life, make them as comfortable as possible and make sure they are positioned properly.
