Welcome to the Aegis Therapies Web site, which contains
comprehensive information about our “patient-centered” approach to
rehabilitation. This approach involves learning all that we can
about each patient, using cutting-edge technology and innovation,
delivering comprehensive clinical programs, and merging all of this
with a true passion for what we do.
We embrace a “Restore, Compensate, Adapt” model of care. We
consider not only what can be improved in the patient’s functional
abilities (restore) but also what can be changed in the patient’s
environment (compensate and adapt). Our therapists consult with
nursing staff and the patient’s family so every therapy program is
specifically tailored to the patient’s needs and potential.
Our core clinical programs help Aegis therapists provide
treatment in the areas of pain, balance, dementia, continence, and
orthopedic rehabilitation. We also use state-of-the-art therapy
equipment and proprietary protocols in our break-through “Freedom
Through Functionality” (FTF) program. FTF features customized
Nautilus® strength-training machines that have been specially
designed for safe and effective use by seniors. The results of
geriatric strength-building through FTF have been astonishing!
At Aegis, we are not only committed to delivering outstanding
clinical outcomes, but also to measuring them. During every step of
our patients’ rehabilitation, Aegis therapists monitor and record
their progress. This allows us to quantitatively prove the
benefit of our rehabilitation services. It also provides payers,
physicians, and consumers with a powerful way to forecast potential
progress and estimate how much time it will take to achieve that
progress. Our rehab outcome measurements clearly illustrate to
patients and their families that they are on a path towards
independence.
Additionally, we are proud to announce our new on-site wellness
programs, called EnerG by AegisTM. The EnerG by Aegis
programs focus on the six dimensions of wellness: physical,
emotional, spiritual, intellectual, occupational and social. EnerG
by Aegis programs can range from classes in tai chi, balance,
aquatics, and falls prevention, to arthritis management,
cardiovascular endurance, pain management, and memory and
functional cognition improvement.
Our new EnerG by Aegis programs help to maintain and improve
residents’ health, and allow us totarget potential health concerns
before they become more problematic. Our goal is to help
residents, patients and others see wellness as a lifestyle.
As you explore our Web site, we hope you will agree that Aegis
Therapies exemplifies quality, service, and compassion to our
patients, our employees and the companies we serve.
