NeuLife Rehab in Mount Dora, Florida Honors Occupational Therapists Everywhere

NeuLife Rehab is an innovative post-acute rehabilitative facility whose goal is to assist its Clients to achieve independence to the fullest extent of his or her physical and mental abilities.

That goal cannot be achieved without the critical role played by the occupational therapists who serve on NeuLife Rehab’s multidisciplinary team. April has been declared Occupational Therapy Appreciation Month. NeuLife Rehab wishes to take this opportunity to express its deep appreciation to, and acknowledge the skills of, the dedicated occupational therapists who serve our Clients. Moreover, NeuLife Rehab wishes to acknowledge occupational therapists everywhere.

This is an apt time to explain some of what occupational therapists do for the Clients of NeuLife Rehab in Mount Dora, Florida. The term “occupational therapy” does not refer to a Client’s immediate return to work. Instead, it involves the treatment of Clients through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. Occupational therapists help individuals develop, recover and improve the skills needed for daily living and ideally, later, for working.

Instead of focusing on the return to work when defining occupational therapy, it may be better thought of in terms of what an individual does on a daily basis to “occupy” time[1]. Some of the activities may seem mundane, but they are important activities of daily living. They include activities such as personal grooming, dressing, cooking and generally performing meaningful tasks. Occupational therapists help individuals re-learn self-care to the greatest degree possible and thereby, become independent. Everything has the goal of achieving successful sustained outcomes.

For all of these reasons, NeuLife Rehab in Mount Dora, Florida appreciates and honors occupational therapists in April and always.

NeuLife Rehab consistently provides the highest standard of care in the delivery of clinically relevant services to achieve successful, sustained outcomes and exceeds the expectations of all persons served. Our philosophy of that healing, wellness and personal fulfillment are best accomplished in an uplifting therapeutic environment where caring staff encourage, assist and support each Client so he or she may achieve specific goals. NeuLife Rehab believes personal fulfillment is equally as important as goals to increase function and independence.

Proper and timely post-acute rehabilitation that may determine the difference between disability and independence is what NeuLife refers to as the “platinum post-acute period” —  the crucial window following acute care that is needed to nurture the whole person to health with specialized, clinically relevant services.

NeuLife’s philosophy is that healing, wellness and personal fulfillment are best achieved in a positive and uplifting therapeutic environment where caring staff encourages, assists and supports each client so he or she may achieve specific goals. NeuLife believes personal fulfillment is equally as important as goals to achieve function and independence.
