All Residential Programs and Services offered at The Mary Campbell Center are provided in an Active Treatment Setting affording Residents the opportunity to maintain as much independence as possible.
Active Treatment is a holistic approach that enables individuals to function with as much self-determination and independence as possible. Residents collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to identify goals and work together to achieve them in measurable and meaningful ways.
Members of the compassionate healthcare team are comprised of licensed nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants (known as Resident Care Technicians (RCT’s) at MCC). Nursing and RCT’s provide skilled care and services in many areas including:
Our goal at The Mary Campbell Center is to provide programs, therapies and services which promote independence and growth. Members of the Interdisciplinary Team take a collaborative approach when developing plans that support the social, emotional and physical growth of each resident.
The Physical Therapy department is involved in many aspects of life at The Mary Campbell Center. We develop programs to enhance the residents’ flexibility, transfers, standing balance, walking, and wheelchair driving skills.
The Occupational Therapists at The Mary Campbell Center assist residents to be as independent as possible throughout the MCC environment and in the community. Therapy is provided to maximize residents’ skills with activities including:
Our team of Massage Therapists provides individualized in-house Massage Therapy to residents who need therapeutic support. Therapists use various individually adapted techniques such as Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Lymphatic Drainage, Deep Tissue techniques, Accupressure, and Reflexology. When needed, stress reducing techniques such as Guided Visualization, Breathing Practices and energetic balancing modalities such as Healing Touch and Reiki are used to help support each person. Residents benefit from inter-departmental collaboration. Our individualized therapeutic programs promote healing for the whole person: mind, body and spirit.
Our Speech Therapists provide comprehensive speech-language services to those who live at MCC. Speech Therapy works with all members of the team to develop effective strategies that better enable each resident to communicate their thoughts and needs.
Additional Services include maintenance of devices, device programming, assessment for appropriate devices, securing funding, and more.
Our 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.
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.
