Aquatics and Physical Development

with the push of a button. This initial design allowed for easy access into the water for those residents in wheelchairs who would be unable to enter using the stairs. The moveable pool floor is adjustable from depths as low as a few inches, all the way to four feet – the ideal working depth for aquatic activities. The experienced Aquatics Staff assists the residents with individualized programs utilizing water weights, flotation devices, and games.

The Aquatics Center is also equipped with a hot tub/spa used for muscular relaxation. Access to both the hot tub and pool is facilitated with ceiling mounted lift systems.

Physical Development

Residents also participate in Physical Development programs. Specialized weight lifting machines and equipment designed for strength and aerobic training provide the residents at MCC with all-around unique exercise opportunities.

The Nursing Restorative Program is conducted by RCT’s with oversight from Nursing, Physical and Occupational Therapy, to sustain or improve a resident’s physical functioning. Objectives include performing joint range of motion for upper and lower extremities and standing exercise including walking for ambulation tolerance and endurance for those who are weight-bearing. This strengthening program is a key component of health and wellness for those residents who can participate.

Active Treatment

The Mary Campbell Center recognizes the dreams and potential opportunities of every person, regardless of physical or cognitive ability. We strive for residents and those served by MCC to grow socially, emotionally and physically through various programs, therapies and supports developed to meet their individual needs. Each resident who lives at MCC participates in Active Treatment. Active Treatment is developed specifically for each person. An individualized program plan is developed by the Interdisciplinary Team, along with the resident, to support the individual’s goals and dreams. Programs are created and integrated in the person’s daily life to develop specific skills and behaviors to promote self-determination and independence. Individualized program plans are reassessed annually to ensure that the programs and services being offered meet the needs of each person.

"My sweet sister Lisa has called the MCC home for the years since my parents moved to an assisted living residence and subsequently passed away. Since then I have had the opportunity to work with the truly dedicated staff members who care for her with love, compassion and attention to her needs. My siblings and I feel so fortunate that Lisa lives in a community where she is encouraged to reach her fullest potential with every opportunity to flourish both physically and intellectually. We are privileged to be a part of the MCC."
