We utilize specialized clinical protocols to address diseases such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s. In addition, our certified therapists take advantage of the latest therapeutic modalities to treat falls and balance issues, urinary incontinence, dysphagia, and other complex conditions.
Physical Therapy
During your recovery, physical therapists will create an individualized plan and work with you to:
- restore mobility, balance, gait and confidence

- reduce pain
- help to prevent further falls, injury or illness
Our spacious physical therapy gym is outfitted with state-of-the-art exercise equipment, more than most skilled nursing facilities.
Occupational Therapy
Restoring and enhancing daily living abilities is key to your recovery. Helping you care for yourself again, from dressing and bathing to developing cooking and homemaking skills, is the goal of our occupational therapists. The familiar home-like setting of CathedralCare’s fully-equipped kitchen helps promote your return to independence.

Speech pathologists will assess and treat any voice or speech deficits or impairments. Our therapists also address and care for any swallowing problems you might experience.
