What Are PT, OT & Social Work Services?
These three disciplines provide distinct but complementary forms of care:
- Physical Therapy (PT): Helps seniors regain strength, mobility, and balance after illness, injury, or surgery.
- Occupational Therapy (OT): Teaches techniques and adaptations to safely manage daily activities like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation.
- Medical Social Work: Supports emotional well-being, provides counseling, and connects families with community and financial resources.
Through Providence Healthcare Services, families may receive care for any of these services individually—or combine them for a comprehensive plan of care.
