We work closely with the nurses to decide when a resident can be 'transitioned' to the fitness program. One of my greatest joys is the comfort we bring to the sisters in the five therapy cubicles. A survey of the area reveals the hydrotherapy room with a full-sized whirlpool for total immersions and a smaller unit for arms, legs, and ankles. E-Stim, ultrasound, hot and cold packs, a paraffin bath for arthritic body parts are used with regularity. It is a long process, but I am getting help for my rotator cuff.
Privacy is a great value here.
Rhonda Halvorson Schlickman, fitness coordinator, glows with pride when she ticks off the equipment available in the fitness center. We've grown quite a bit in our first year. Look at those two NU-Step machines. They strengthen the upper and lower parts of the body simultaneously. Great for cardio-vascular cases.
