What is geriatric rehabilitation?
Geriatric rehabilitation focuses on the needs of older adults: easing arthritis and joint pain, improving balance, preventing falls and maintaining the strength needed for everyday independence.
Sessions are gentle, unhurried and adapted to each person's health conditions. Patients and families often tell us that the time and patience we give makes all the difference.
