Occupational Therapy That Produces Results

Occupational therapy are services provided to help patients return to usual daily activities after incurring an illness either on an inpatient or an outpatient basis. These activities of daily living include bathing, preparing meals, and housekeeping.

Orthotics and Splinting

A splint is a device used to immobilize and protect an injured body part, usually made from metal, plastic, or fabric that wraps around the appendage. Splinting can help reduce pain and support fractured bones until they heal on their own.

Muscle Reeducation

Through muscle reeducation, patients are able to regain strength and movement in their muscles after a period of immobility or injury. This can range from helping with simple rehabilitation exercises to more complex regimens that involve strengthening and stretching the affected muscles.

Home Modification Suggestions

Luna Vista Healthcare & Hospice can assist by making recommendations for home modifications including ramp installations to make access to your home easier and safer for you.

Fine Motor Training

Through a combination of physical therapy, occupational therapy and specialized instruction, Luna Vista helps individuals improve their fine motor skills in order to perform everyday activities more efficiently.

Rehabilitation Therapy

Our nurses are knowledgeable in the latest rehabilitation techniques and can devise individualized treatment plans that meet the specific needs of each patient.

Home Safety Evaluation

Nurses play an integral role in helping to ensure the safety of patients in their home environments. By performing a home safety evaluation, they can identify areas where risks may exist and advise the patient on how to minimize these risks and create a safe space.
