There are three therapies available from our Outpatient Services department:

Although each therapy

concentrates on different areas

of rehabilitation, patients will

find consistency in the concern and

 qualifications of the staff, the technique

 applied in therapy, and the effectiveness

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapy helps patients regain functions after an accident or illness limits their independent mobility.  Our outpatient Physical Therapists and therapy assistants treat patients with disorders related to:

  *  Arthritis

  *  Cardiovascular Disease

  *  Congenital Defects

  *  Developmental Delay

  *  Head Trauma

  *  Industrial Injury

           Neurological Diseases including

Speech Therapy

The ability to speak is not something that most people think about . . . For many, it's as natural as breathing or sleeping.  Individuals with speech and language disorders however, are constantly challenged to communicate with the rest of the world.  For those individuals, therapy is a delicate and sensitive issue that must be handled in the same respect.  The speech pathologists at Susque-View Home specialize in treating individuals with speech and/or language disorders related to:

  *  Cardiovascular Disease
  *  Congenital Defects
  *  Developmental Delay
  *  Head Trauma
  *  Hearing Impairment and
      Neurological Diseases including:

  *  Stroke

  *  Parkinson's Disease

At Susque-View, patients receiving Outpatient Speech Therapy will receive all the personal attention and time they need to turn the fear of speaking into the confidence of communication!
