SERVICES & ACTIVITIES
REHABILITATION SERVICES
The professional rehabilitative staff, including bilingual therapists,
provides skilled physical, occupational and speech therapy in a modern,
fully equipped department. Our team approach meets individual needs,
whether it be short-term rehabilitation before returning home to the
community, or staying to become part of the Hellenic family.
Our rehabilitation department is well-trained to treat the special
problems of the geriatric resident, such as fractured hips, Alzheimer's
disease, stroke and other medical conditions. We are committed to
providing quality care so that our residents can maintain the maximum
quality of life.
ALZHEIMER CARE UNIT
A newly designed and specialized 36 bed secured unit, opened in March of
2000 with its own Director, specialized care and activities.
Hellenic's Specialized Alzheimer's trained staff believe:
Every individual with Alzheimer's disease has the potential to:
Laugh; be compassionate; be concerned and productive; give and receive love and affection; reminisce and share life's experiences; thrive
Every individual with Alzheimer's disease is:
A person who lives in the moment; a person with infinite value; a person with a name, spirit and feelings; a person with will and personality; a person with a life story
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES
The residents are as busy as they choose to be. The Activity Programs at
the Hellenic are stimulating, flexible and evolving. They are fashioned to
meet the ever changing needs of our residents. Every effort is made to see
and respond to each resident as an individual with his or her own unique
needs and interests, as well as gifts. To preserve vitality and the
quality of life to the fullest extent possible is the ongoing commitment
of the Activity Director and staff.
Arts and crafts, physical fitness programs and discussion groups are all
coordinated through the Activity Department. Birthday parties, holiday
socials, cookouts, and outings away from the facility are also a vital
part of the activity programs.
SPECIAL SERVICES
The Hellenic Center recognizes that the spiritual needs of our residents
are an integral part of their lives. Religious services are held on-site
and clergy of different faiths visit regularly. We honor and embrace Greek
traditions in addition to other faiths. Throughout the year, the residents
of the Hellenic are visited by various church and philantropic
organizations who come to entertain them, bringing gifts and many hours of
joy and happiness.
