Physical Therapy – McAuley Manor at Mercycare
The Physical Therapy Department at McAuley Manor at Mercycare is open Monday–Friday from 7:00am–4:00pm. The caseload consists of nursing home residents, outpatients, and adult day care registrants. The maintenance and rehabilitation physical therapy programs consist of strengthening, ambulation, balance activities, and task-specific training based on each individual need, with differing levels of intensity between the two programs.
Physical Therapy’s goal is to restore and/or maximize strength, mobility and function in individuals who have experienced a disability, illness, injury or surgery with return to prior home, work and leisure activities as is feasible. Common involvements seen are lower extremity fractures, joint replacements, strokes, amputations, multiple sclerosis, and generalized debilitation due to multiple medical conditions.
