Occupational Therapy
The Somerset Hospital Rehabilitation and Wellness Center also offers Occupational Therapy. Occupational Therapy is skilled treatment that helps individuals achieve and maintain independence in all aspects of their lives. From learning how to get around in the kitchen after a stroke or injury to achieving maximum recovery for a joint injury, occupational therapy gives people the "skills for the job of living" and always works to improve your quality of life.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Our center also offers Cardiac Rehabilitation. Cardiac Rehabilitation is a behavior modification program designed to teach people how to exercise safely, eat a heart-healthy diet, and manage stress. The exercise is conducted in a medically supervised and structured setting, with each exercise program individually designed by exercise physiologists and cardiac nurses to meet the participant's particular needs and abilities.
