How Our Residents Achieve Optimally Independent Lives

The Kensington Falls Church is proud to partner with Powerback Rehab for on-site outpatient rehabilitation services. As a united team of health professionals, we help our residents regain or retain their optimal level of independence. 

Together we provide support through the most current, full-service independent living, assisted living, and memory care solutions to physical, occupational, and speech therapies.

Powerback Rehab’s Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Team 

Powerback’s team evaluates individual needs to develop a specially-tailored program that best fits individual needs, which may include:

Speech therapy 

Speech therapy is essential not only for those struggling with their voice but who are also having issues swallowing.

LSVT LOUD therapy, is one of the special services offered through Powerback rehab, and is beneficial for those with Parkinson’s disease, MS, who have had a stroke, or other neurological conditions.

Physical therapy

Powerback’s physical therapists help our residents build strength, optimize balance, and boost mobility. The need for physical therapy may be due to something as simple as aging, or more serious, such as a fall, stroke, or neurological disorder.

One of the programs through Powerback, Energized Fitness for Parkinson’s, is a high-energy fitness program that takes place in a social setting, which can be a fun and engaging way for seniors to improve their strength while also interacting with other residents. 

Occupational therapy

Occupational therapy works on strengthening residents’ movements that help them complete daily tasks such as getting dressed. Occupational therapy also assists with regaining coordination and working through memory exercises. 

On-site rehabilitation and clinical support, all-in-one 

Powerback Rehab Services at The Kensington Falls Church tailors each individual’s therapy plan to his or her unique needs, including those with complex clinical diagnoses or advanced memory loss. 

Our therapy experts focus on one simple vision for our residents – to help them live dignified and optimally independent lives.
