Activities of Daily Living
Ambassador Rehab is committed to
delivering exemplary rehabilitation
services to all our clients. Each rehab
program is specifically tailored to meet the
individual needs of the patient.
Outcomes for daily living activities are
systematically measured for each task
(listed on the graph) to ensure that
patients are successfully progressing
towards their goals. By analyzing the rate
of improvement with functional transfers
and basic daily bathing/dressing needs,
our therapists are able to more accurately
identify the specific needs that each
patient will have upon discharge from
rehabilitation services.

Ambulation
Independence with functional mobility is
often not only a basic need, but is also
considered a necessity to ensure a higher
quality of life, for most of our patients.
That is why we have tailored an outcome
study to specifically address ambulation
ability with our treatment interventions.
We specifically address ambulation
distance, based upon an MDS related
scale, to identify the range of safe
ambulation for each patient. Whether the
patient plans to return home or will need
to make one of our facilities their new
home, the therapy department will be able
to use this clinical study to determine
their ability for safe walking distances.

Swallowing / Cognitive
Speech Therapy services are crucial to
ensure the health and well-being of all
our patients. These therapists help to
assess if a cognitive deficit or
swallowing impairment will place the
patient at risk for further medical
complications. Furthermore, our highly
trained Speech-Language Pathologists
possess the skills necessary to
rehabilitate these patients so that their
quality of life is not negatively impacted.
Patients who receive Speech Therapy at
one of our facilities are assessed
utilizing a scale specific to this
discipline. By assigning a severity rating
to the areas of swallowing,
comprehension, and expression, we can
concretely ascertain the rate of
improvement for each patient we treat.
We want to ensure that the patient is
able to communicate their basic wants
and needs to the staff, family members,
