REHABILITATION SERVICES
 Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center offers a complete range of rehabilitation services to assist recovery.
Our professional staff includes physical therapists, a physical therapy assistant, an occupational therapist, an occupational therapy
assistant, a speech therapist, and an administrative professional rehab aide.
We offer inpatient and outpatient therapy which allows us to establish continuity of care and treat the
patient in-house as well as on an outpatient basis as needed. Throughout the course of the patient's therapy the therapists work closely
with the physician and other healthcare providers, along with the patient's family, to ensure that his/her total needs are met. We complete
in-home evaluations prior to the patient returning home to make recommendations that will ensure safety and success.
Our nursing rehabilitation program includes the education of staff to carry out specific therapeutic programs
to allow the residents to reach their highest possible functional level.

Physical therapy assists patients in moving more comfortably, increasing mobility, and maintaining endurance
to resume life activities.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Occupational therapy helps patients become as functionally independent and productive as possible.
SPEECH THERAPY
Speech language pathology provides evaluations and training in the areas of communication and eating, including
swallowing, and chewing ability.
RESTORATIVE THERAPY DEPARTMENT
Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center employs trained restorative aides that work closely with the physical
and occupational therapists to carry out specifically designed exercise programs to promote maintenance of acquired skills.
