Masonicare’s Ashlar of Newtown Now Provides Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation - 9/9/2008

Newtown, CT, September 10, 2008......Building on the success of their outstanding short-term inpatient rehabilitation program, Masonicare's Ashlar of Newtown is pleased to announce it is now providing comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation services at the skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility on Toddy Hill Road in Newtown.

The skilled rehab professionals at Ashlar of Newtown treat a number of conditions that require specialized treatment on an outpatient basis to help patients recover and relearn skills that were once taken for granted.  Their goal is to help their patients resume the highest level of functioning and maximize their potential.

The outpatient services at Ashlar of Newtown are provided in a new rehab gym, conveniently located on the first floor and with its own private entrance.  The wide range of outpatient services offered include: physical, occupational and speech therapy (with swallowing evaluations); nutrition/diabetes management; neurological rehabilitation: stroke, spinal cord injury, neuropathy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis; cardiac rehabilitation; memory impairment; orthopedic rehabilitation: joint replacement, joint surgery, arthritis, osteoporosis, neck/back pain, repetitive stress injuries and multiple trauma; gait/balance disorders or history of falls; headaches; fibromyalgia and work related injuries. 

The addition of outpatient services is an added advantage for patients who receive inpatient rehabilitation therapy at Ashlar of Newtown.  If their discharge plans call for supplementary rehab therapy to help speed recovery, these patients can return to Ashlar of Newtown as outpatients and receive their treatment in familiar surroundings from therapists they have come to know and trust.  This provides a comfort level and continuity of care that can be very beneficial in restoring patients to their full potential.
