Occupational Therapy
The purpose of occupational therapy is to help an elder achieve function, meaning, and satisfaction in aspects of everyday life.

We create a holistic plan by first assessing:
- Physical condition
- Cognitive condition

Speech Pathology
Speech-language pathologists focus on improving deficits in speech and swallowing. Our therapists are professionally trained in helping elders recover from strokes or other injuries that affect speech and swallowing. Our speech-language pathologists work one-on-one with our elders to help them regain functional communication with a variety of methods. Conway Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center uses an interdisciplinary approach to maximize communication through verbal, visual, and/or gestural means. Elders may need speech therapy as a result of:
