You have just completed a hospital stay because of an illness, injury or surgery, and are now ready to get back to the people and activities you enjoy the most.

ARCH is dedicated to helping you make that important transition a seamless one.

We understand that recovery is hard work. But our committed staff will be there every step of the way to guide you on your journey. Think of us as your cheerleader, coach and support system, all in one.

Since everyone’s road to recovery is unique, we will design a customized care plan that addresses your individual needs. Our multidisciplinary team will be there for you around the clock.

During your stay with us you will work closely with our RNs, program directors, therapists, dietary specialists, social workers and others. Each of these individuals will treat you like family — keeping your best interests at heart while helping you meet your recovery goals and getting you back to the lifestyle you enjoy.

And we will not only work to get you back on your feet, but to keep you there as well. When it is time for you to leave us, we will ensure you have the tools and information you need to continue your success at home. We know it is your goal — and ours — to reduce the risk of returning to the hospital.

We also want you to feel special during your short stay with us. We are warm, friendly and accommodating, and will work tirelessly to provide you with anything you need. Our top-tier culinary team is happy to prepare your favorite meal. We will gladly arrange outings for you, or even pick up your favorite magazine. And of course, we’re always there to share a laugh and a smile — or talk about the grandkids or your favorite sports team.

A Guide to ARCH Skilled Therapy Services

Our skilled therapy program is the heart of the ARCH experience. Guided by our team of dedicated therapists, our guests focus intensively on a single goal — returning home. You may therefore find yourself participating in one or more of the major therapy disciplines we offer: physical, occupational, speech and recreational. Each plays a vital role in getting you back to a fully active lifestyle in your own home.

Physical Therapy (PT)

Physical therapy focuses on improving a person’s functioning. When you arrive at ARCH, you may be experiencing issues with muscle strength, balance, walking, endurance, pain and more. ARCH physical therapy is designed to improve your capabilities in those areas and maximize your independence at home.

Our highly trained therapists manage and treat a range of physical issues, disabilities and pain. They use effective treatments such as exercise, massage, and heat and water therapy. They also use a range of specialized equipment and cutting-edge techniques.

We offer custom therapy programs that will enable you to achieve your desired outcome — whether it be regaining your muscle strength, walking without assistance, or even sitting comfortably and without pain in your favorite chair.

Speech-Language Therapy (SLT)

Many people find that after an injury or illness, they have difficulty with speech, communication, cognition and other related areas. You may have trouble talking and expressing your thoughts and ideas. You may have difficulty with organizational and problem-solving skills. You may even have a hard time swallowing, which can interfere with your safe enjoyment of meals.

Speech therapy addresses these issues. ARCH’s skilled therapists perform comprehensive evaluations, create individualized treatment plans, and use strategies to improve speech, language, voice, cognition and swallowing.

We will help you regain these skills so you can communicate effectively with your family, friends and doctors. And you can make safe and sound decisions when you are back in your home environment.

Occupational Therapy (OT)

Occupational therapy can help our guests better handle the demands of everyday living and get back to being independent. Through a mixture of therapies and exercises, our professional team will teach you how to regain essential life skills — such as dressing, food preparation and housekeeping.

They will also identify problem areas and make recommendations for safety and convenience improvements in your home. And they will train you to use equipment — such as walkers, tub benches, adaptive dressing equipment and eating utensils — that will make life’s tasks easier for you as you recover.

Recreational Therapy (RT)

There are proven physical and mental benefits to keeping up with the activities and hobbies you love. Our recreational therapy program is tailored to our guests’ particular interests and habits. Our energetic RT staff will coordinate a variety of social activities that appeal to you, including entertainment and cultural programs, educational classes, arts and crafts, holiday celebrations, worship services, and more.
