Services Offered
Salem Home offers several different avenues of inpatient therapy to meet your needs. Our staff provides outstanding care and makes a sincere commitment to help each individual enjoy a life rich with dignity and satisfaction.
We are dedicated to providing “person centered” care. What this means is that we individualize the care and how it is provided, for each person, and this care is in keeping with their personal preferences and lifestyle choices. We strongly believe and adhere to the philosophy that the person should not need to change their lifestyle, simply because they have had a change in address. Beginning with the admission process, and continuing on as they are admitted, we work hard at gathering as much information as possible, so resident’s lives can continue on with as little interruption as possible. This includes bathing preferences, food preferences and meal times, waking time in the morning or staying awake through the night. Our desire is to accommodate their preferences, and any changes that need to be made to accommodate those preferences and schedules, are made by our staff. The resident is not expected to change their desires to accommodate us.
With our two PEAK Awards for excellent care, you can rest assured that you’ll have the best care available.
Skilled Care
Salem Home provides skilled care for those in need of short-term rehabilitation, as well as those whose needs require long-term skilled nursing care. Our skilled care provides a wide range of rehabilitative services to you, with the goal of empowering you to achieve the highest possible level of functioning.
Salem Home has specially trained individuals to help you meet your needs. Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapists will evaluate and design therapy programs to address limitations that you may have, which will help you to reach your goals and get you will on your way to being back at your own home.
Regain movement with Physical Therapy
Physical therapists use a number of advanced techniques to help you or a family member regain muscle strength and improve coordination following an injury or illness.
They teach safe ways to climb stairs, negotiate curbs and ramps, and move from a bed to a chair. Our residents can learn to walk again with appropriate support equipment, to properly maneuver a wheelchair, or to use an artificial limb. Physical therapy can also help control or alleviate both acute and chronic pain.
