Rehabilitation Technology

Technology to transform lives

Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare is proud to feature the latest and most innovative assistive technologies across our continuum of rehabilitative care.

Here you'll find a highly trained staff of physical, occupational, and speech therapists, some of whom are certified Assistive Technology Professionals (ATPs), plus state-of-the-art assistive technology devices, software, and remote-controlled equipment to maximize your rehabilitation potential and overall quality of life.

Our team works with physicians, other therapists, outside assistive technology vendors, and outside community resources to help evaluate patients' cognition, muscle strength, balance, coordination, gait, hearing, speech, and vision. Their goal is to match you with the most appropriate technology to help you improve your activities of daily living in the home, at school, or at work.

Whether you or your loved one needs assistive devices for the home, office, or school, we'll carefully consider those that will offer the greatest comfort and independence. Before you invest in certain types of equipment, you may have an opportunity to try it out first in our clinical setting. We offer education to help patients learn how to use these assistive technology devices in an outside setting. And once the appropriate equipment is ordered and delivered to the patient, Casa Colina therapists will also provide on-site training to ensure proper use and maximum efficiency and benefits to the patient.
