What We Provide
Located in Wichita and Topeka, our Therapy Centers are an important part of our program, designed with our patients in mind. Offering an intensive, interdisciplinary approach to care, they promote a sense of community where patients can come together with others that share a Brain Injury diagnosis and receive support and therapy services. Offering state of the art equipment and resources, the focus of the center is to assist patients to achieve maximum function and develop the skills necessary to resume life roles and meet personal rehabilitation goals. Our Therapy Centers offers both coordinated therapies and education while still providing a personalized approach to meet each patient’s individual needs.
Therapy Center Features
Game Rooms
Providing access to the latest games and accessories, patients will work on hand/eye coordination and challenge their cognitive abilities against different electronic games.
Learning Library
Providing access to computers and printers and a full library of books and resources to appeal to all interests and ability levels, our Learning Libraries are just the place to settle down and get cozy with a book, puzzle, or audio book.
Classrooms
Our classrooms provides the space necessary for learning new skills and developing cognitive functioning. We feature weekly classes taught by professional therapists for finances, parenting, coping skills, and many more, where our patients can get 1 on 1 learning opportunities on their level.
Arts and Crafts
One of our center’s highlights, we offer arts and crafts rooms that have access to different mediums to encourage our patients therapy skills of improved physical functioning through the development of fine motor skills, emotional regulation, coping strategies, and decompression. Through art and individual expression, our patients can aid in their physical rehabilitation and form new outlets of expression. Proven to reduce levels of stress and anxiety and increase self-esteem, our arts and crafts program is a large part of a patient’s cognitive and behavioral rehabilitation.
Gym
Our accessible fitness centers features state of the art equipment for physical and occupational rehab. From a treadmill and recumbent bike to hand weights and adaptive equipment, we enable Brain Injury patients to achieve their fitness and training goals. Staffed with licensed Physical and Occupational therapists, there is something for everyone.
Sensory Rooms
These specialized rooms offer a safe space where our patients can self-regulate and decompress. Focused on providing the best sensory input for each patient’s specific needs, patients can learn how to self-regulate and ultimately improve their focus. Featuring soothing music, fiber-optic lighting, deep pressure input, or weighted products, these calming rooms help the muscles to send calming signals to the brain, so that patients can recognize their thoughts and improve their focus, helping them learn the skills they need to be better prepared for learning and interacting with others.
Accessible Bathrooms
At our Wichita center, we proudly offer two accessible bathrooms that include roll-in showers that can accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices. A game changer in the world of home health, this feature was intentionally built for our patients who live in homes without accessible bathrooms, requiring them to take bed baths. Our Occupational Therapists can include actual showers as part of our patient’s treatment plans.
Teaching Kitchen
Our facility kitchens features accessible countertop space and equipment for teaching our patients how to work safely in a kitchen. Our patients will have the opportunity to plan, shop and prepare a meal and snacks. This space focuses on skills such as planning, organizing, multi-tasking, following directions, endurance and safety awareness and can be a part of their individualized treatment plan.
Laundry Facilities
A bonus space, our therapy centers features access to laundry equipment for our patients to not only take advantage of this free resource and complete their laundry, but also to develop the skill of using laundry equipment safely.
What to Expect
Each day, patients who attend the Therapy Centers will have therapy for 2-6 hours. While reservations are encouraged, the Therapy Centers are open for drop-in sessions. Our schedulers will work with each patient and therapy specialist to develop a weekly schedule.
A Typical Day at the Center
Each day, patients will attend scheduled therapy sessions determined by their individual needs and personal treatment plan. Upon arrival, they will have a locker to store personal items and will have access to our general lounge area to rest outside of therapy sessions. Throughout their time in the center, patients will be involved in individual therapies as necessary and will also have the opportunity to participate in scheduled small-group activities. Our patients will take a break for lunch, provided by the center during the noon hour, or they can bring one from home or leave for outside food. Our center patients will have access to a licensed agency nurse available for emergencies and to help coordinate referrals for outside resource providers.
Bonus Programs
Our centers also features special bonus programs, including guest teachers and artists, scheduled group activities and community outings.
Tracking Patient Progress
Each week, our treatment team of therapists and specialists will meet to discuss patient progress, treatment plans and goals. Patient Care Plans are updated every 6 weeks and the primary therapist will communicate with both the patient and family about progress and the continued treatment plan.
