Transition Services is a program designed to help members who require personal assistance in gaining the skills needed to move or “transition” into the general membership. An individualized program is developed to optimize the benefits of Center programming. It may include classes such as speech and communication, memory and cognition, exercise classes, adaptive recreation, and 1:1 activities in the fitness center.
The Transition Services staff are certified Recreational Therapists who have backgrounds in rehabilitative therapies. They also assist members with individual safety, transfers, and personal hygiene, as needed. Additionally, a physical therapist may consult to assist staff when necessary.
With hospital stays becoming shorter and people returning to the community sooner than in the past, there is a critical need for this type of service to assist people in regaining their independence at The Center and in their lives.
