Below is a sample of our core programs; click on each to learn more.
Resident Advocacy
Resident Advocacy is our proactive care and intervention philosophy involving and empowering any and all staff members to bring to the attention of rehab any resident/client who is experiencing difficulty or has had a decline or improvement in function. With every center team member participating in identifying and communicating resident declines, interventions can be provided timelier and often early enough to prevent incidents and keep residents safer.
Hey Therapy™ is a resident advocacy program that involves your entire staff in supporting and participating in resident well-being. If facility staff notices that Mrs. Smith has stopped attending exercise class or breakfast, staff can simply complete a Hey Therapy form and the rehab team can follow up immediately! Hey Therapy encourages each member of the facility or community to be the therapy department’s “eyes and ears”.
Seating and Positioning
Mobility is important to lead a productive, fulfilling life. This program’s comprehensive, integrated team approach identifies and addresses seating and positioning function and adaptation.
The seating and positioning program focuses on promoting optimal posture, positioning, nutrition, skin integrity and functioning. Wheelchair and seating solutions improve mobility, productivity, comfort and quality of life for your residents.
FUNctional Kits®
Residents are eager to participate in therapy focusing on functional life-skills. Find out how our FUNctional Kits motivate and stimulate skill outcomes beyond more impairment-based therapeutic approaches.
A functionally-based treatment approach prepares the resident for the specific activities and skill sets that they need to both successfully transition and remain in their discharge environment. FUNctional Kits are boxes of common materials that translate the residents' interests into skilled therapy techniques.
Examples of our FUNctional Kits include:
Gardening
Meal planning
Travel and vacationing
Pet care
Money management
Dementia ‘Can Do’SunDance’s ability-based approach to dementia interventions that focus on residual abilities and environmental adaptations using activities that are meaningful to engage and communicate with the resident with dementia.
A multitude of successful approaches and interventions are offered to guide the clinician into effective and successful interactions with the dementia resident. Our approach to care assures that residents with memory loss are provided therapy services that are focused on what a resident still can do and accomplish on a daily basis. This approach involves tapping into a resident’s strengths, not weaknesses, to increase their ability to function, their safety, and quality of life. Interventions focus on grading each functional task to match a resident’s cognitive level and remaining abilities at every stage of impairment.
Blueprint for Fitness℠
Our rehabilitationists utilize a web-based computer program to design individualized exercise programs for residents. These easy-to-read illustrations provide visual reinforcement and education to patients, families and caregivers to facilitate progress and maintain functional abilities after discharge from therapy.
