Appomattox Health and Rehab continues ‘world-class’ rehab

Recognized as one of the “Best Nursing Homes” by U.S. News and World Report (in 2019 and 2020), Appomattox Health and Rehabilitation continues its effort to provide “world-class rehabilitation” for its local patients.

The facility has a “state-of-the-art gym” with the latest advanced therapeutic technology. In the gym, residents have access to qualified physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists. The rehabilitation staff assists in providing specialized testing and exercise programs to improve balance and coordination, and to increase physical function, mobility and safety.

Also, they help patients improve their ability to communicate when recovering from incidents such as a stroke or other neurological conditions. Speech therapists work with patients to assess and treat how to “regain” communication, swallowing function and other vocal impairments.
