Physical Therapy
Licensed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants design individualized exercise and physical therapy programs for older adults with even the most complex medical histories. Programs are tailored to the participants needs and are designed to promote a long-lasting commitment to wellness and independence.

Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists and certified occupational therapy assistants work with individuals to increase independence in all areas of life, including work, play, self-care, and leisure. This would include individuals recovering from bone and tissue injuries of the hand, wrist, elbow, knees or shoulders. Some common diagnoses include arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and disabilities caused by stroke.

Speech-Language Pathology
Certified speech-language pathologists rehabilitate individuals affected by a variety of disorders, including speech, language, voice, swallowing, and cognitive deficits.

The Pavilions partners with Early On, a school district program. The speech-language pathologist consults with this program, offering a world of resources to participants. School referrals are welcome.
