Therapy to Power Your Life

We believe in getting better. And we’re not just being optimistic. Life-changing results are possible and we have the team to help get you there.

Outpatient Therapy

St John’s United is SO much more than a nursing home. We’re one of the region’s finest providers of outpatient therapy including physical, occupational, and speech therapy services. Our experienced and compassionate team is motivated to make a difference in the lives of our clients. At our three locations, we develop individualized treatment plans focused on restoring lost functions, developing new capabilities, and helping people maximize their activities and live their fullest life. 

St. John’s United Offers a Range of Service

Don’t feel bound by a referral. You have options when it comes to your care. From aquatic rehab and fall prevention to low-vision exercises and safe-swallowing strategies, our licensed therapists have expertise in many areas. We’ve got your back (and knee, arm and anything else that ails you)!  And of course, we accept most insurance plans.  

Parkinson’s LSVT BIG/LOUD Program 

Parkinson’s disease causes movement and voice to become smaller and slower than normal. Parkinson’s also impacts posture, balance, coordination, and amplitude of speech. These changes can reduce your confidence, speed, and safety with everyday tasks and conversations. LSVT BIG and LOUD can help! Research shows improved client rating of motor functioning following treatment. We have certified therapists that can customize a BIG and LOUD program for you.  

Driving Rehabilitation  

For many people, driving is the key to independence. After illness or injury, the question remains, when can I return to driving? Our occupational therapists are driving rehabilitation specialists with specialized education and training in comprehensive driving evaluations, interventions for returning to driving, and training in adaptive driving equipment.  

Our driving rehabilitation program can address:  

• Medical Return to Driving 
• Older Adult Safety Evaluation 
• Adaptive Equipment Evaluation 

Please visit our Driving Rehabilitation page for more information.
