Our skilled rehabilitation department that boasts a fully functional kitchen and bathroom; enabling the rehabilitative staff to evaluate each resident’s needs and prepare them for a safe transition back to their home.  The rehabilitative team is equipped with Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy Practitioners and focuses on resident centered care and individualized treatment plans to enable residents to achieve their maximum functional potential.

To best suit our community, we have therapists fluent in Korean and Spanish, with extensive clinical experience in progressive neurological disorders, orthopedics, orthotic management and training, amputation and bariatrics.  We work together to provide comprehensive care to increase patient’s independence both in house and for anticipated discharges.  We train patients with necessary equipment and assist them with discharge planning back to their community.  We train our nursing staff to utilize a “Restorative Nursing Program” to assist in maintaining an individual’s functional mobility.

Our Social Services department prides itself in working with the residents and their families ensuring they have the best quality of life and their needs are met to the highest level of expectation.  Your social worker is here to help you adjust to your new environment and facilitate a smooth transition back into the community.  They advocate for every resident to be treated with respect and their preferences upheld.

Harborview of Lansdale team members work together with the resident and care givers to develop individualized care plans.  Meetings are scheduled through Social Services.  New admissions are scheduled within the first 72 hours of admission and a follow-up meeting during their first week of stay.  We have quarterly care meetings, but we do conduct meetings upon request or as needed to update resident and guardian/legal representative on any changes.  We encourage the participation of both guests and responsible parties.  If the responsible party is unable to physically attend the care conference, you may be conferenced called into the meeting, or our social worker will be happy to provide a summary of the meeting.

The Recreation Director develops a monthly calendar offering daily programs and events to our residents and visitors.  The calendar can be viewed in the lounge and common areas throughout the center.  We offer a wide variety of activities that range from in-house musical entertainment, themed parties/events, intellectual, physical, and religious programs such as men’s group, pet therapy, and Catholic Mass monthly.  We also have the religious services on Sundays for residents.

Recreation also hosts group outings such as live concerts, festivals, lunch and shopping trips out into the community.  For individuals looking for independent leisure activities we have a library (located on the 3rd floor), in-house movie theater (located on the 2nd floor), and outdoor patio to enjoy sunshine and fresh air.  We also have word puzzles, adult coloring books, cards, colored pencils, and crayons for individual use.
