Rehabilitation
The Del Rio Nursing and Rehabilitation Center provides comprehensive Rehabilitation Services consisting of Speech, Occupational and Physical Therapies administered by state licensed professionals under the supervision of a Physician. Our Rehabilitation Team focuses on a "Return to Home" approach, designing a customized program of physical medicine that provides the highest opportunity of returning to their prior level of function and living accommodations. Our therapists are specially trained in the treatment of fractured hips, hip replacements, knee replacements, strokes, complicated medical situations and general re-conditioning. Physical Therapists work with gross motor skills such as walking, wheelchair training, transfer training and balance skills, to name a few. Occupational Therapists work with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, homemaking, memory and community reintegration skills. Speech Therapists work with communication skills, both speech and cognitive issues, and swallowing dysfunction as a result of a stroke or accident. Restorative Nursing works with individuals after active rehabilitation therapy to ensure the patient does not regress from the skills they gained from therapy. Our goal is to get our patients back to their highest practical level of function.

Within our Speech and Communications Therapy section, we are proud to announce that the only neuromuscular technology available to treat swallowing disorders approved by the FDA is available at the Del Rio Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. This treatment, known as VitalStim®, uses small electrical currents to stimulate muscles and “re-educate” the coordination and use of those muscles to successfully regain swallow function. Individuals who might otherwise require PEG tube feedings or who might be limited to restrictive diets greatly benefit from this treatment approach. At this time, this treatment approach is exclusively provided at our community by Del Rio’s only VitalStim® certified Speech-language Pathologist.
