Recovery is more than healing. It is rebuilding strength, restoring independence and regaining confidence in everyday life.

At Addolorata Villa, rehabilitation services are designed specifically for older adults recovering from illness, injury or surgery. Physical, occupational and speech therapists work one-on-one with each individual, creating personalized plans that focus on the whole person, not simply a diagnosis.

Whether following a hospital stay or managing a change in health, residents are supported by experienced professionals who understand the unique needs of aging adults and the importance of returning home safely.

Personalized Therapy, Purposeful Progress

Rehabilitation begins with listening.

Each individual receives a comprehensive evaluation that considers:

  • Prior level of independence
  • Personal goals and lifestyle preferences
  • Medical history and current condition
  • Strength, balance and endurance
  • Speech, cognition or swallowing needs when appropriate

From there, a customized therapy plan is developed in coordination with physicians and care teams. Therapy services may include:

  • Physical therapy to rebuild strength, mobility and balance
  • Occupational therapy to support daily living skills and independence
  • Speech therapy to address communication, cognition and swallowing challenges

All sessions are delivered one-on-one by licensed therapists and adjusted as progress is made.

Designed for Recovery at Every Stage

Rehabilitation services at Addolorata Villa may be provided up to seven days per week and, when appropriate, more than once daily to support steady progress.

Our programs commonly support recovery from:

  • Joint replacement and orthopedic procedures
  • Stroke and neurological conditions
  • Cardiac events and heart surgery
  • Pulmonary and respiratory conditions
  • Fractures and mobility challenges
  • Chronic conditions such as diabetes or renal disease
  • Pain management and arthritis

Progress is monitored closely, with consistent communication among therapists, nurses and physicians to ensure safe and effective recovery.
