Nautilus Equipment
Many of our facilities have therapy gyms outfitted with Nautilus® strength training equipment to help residents regain mobility and stay active. The Nautilus® equipment helps strengthen and train to build muscle, improve mobility, distance, flexibility and functional independence. With the guidance of our licensed physical and occupational therapists, our short term and long term residents have a great opportunity to enjoy improvement.

The Balance Center
Balance problems can cause profound disruptions in daily life. Our state-of-the-art computerized equipment enables our therapists to accurately assess a resident's ability to maintain balance and minimize the risk of falls. The therapists are specially trained in balance re-training. With the Balance Master® our therapists guide our residents through interactive, functional training exercises using visual biofeedback, coupled with sensitive, real-time monitoring of movement. This assists residents in more quickly improving their balance skills. Exercise protocols available on the Balance Master® can be tailored to meet each individual’s needs and are modified as capabilities improve.
