Meet Diane, one of our long-term care residents and a former gardenerโor, as she proudly calls herself, a โlandscape architect!โ ๐ธ๐ฑ When Diane expressed how much she wanted to get outside, our Rehabilitation Team found a meaningful way to incorporate her love of gardening and the outdoors into her therapy sessions.
๐ก Did you know Medicare Part B may cover medically necessary Physical and Occupational Therapy for nursing home residents? These services can help eligible residents improve or maintain function, strength, mobility, and independence when Medicare requirements are met.

๐ A special thank-you to our Wachusett Rehab Team for collaborating on treatment and incorporating activities that are meaningful to Dianeโhelping maximize her independence while letting her enjoy what she loves! ๐ทโ๏ธ
