Here at Barnes-Kasson Hospital we offer three specialties in Rehabilitation Services, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy.  Our rehabilitation team provides individualized quality care to all of our outpatients, inpatients and residents.  Rehab services assist patients to gain body movements, fine motor skills and to learn new ways to do everyday tasks, that otherwise have become difficult for them.  The ultimate goal in rehab is to help the patient to be able to gain independence in their everyday life.  

Outpatient Rehab

Our outpatient rehab provides services to patients that are able to come into our facility and that do not need the intensive rehab of an inpatient or skilled nursing stay.  Patients coming to for outpatient rehab services will receive individualized care tailored to meet there individual rehab needs.  Staff will work closely with the referring physician to make sure that the patient receives quality care, and that the patients fullest rehab potential is being met. 

Inpatient Rehab

When more intense rehab services are needed, we have our inpatient rehabilitations services.  Everyone involved in the patients care now becomes part of the multidisciplinary team and works toward the ultimate goal of discharge.  Our Physical, Occupational and Speech therapists will closely monitor the progress of the patient, work with them to become stronger for discharge to home.  The therapy team will also make recommendations to the patient and family on how to make everyday life easier.

Transitional Care

We realize that not all patients are able to go home after the inpatient stay and that sometimes they need more therapy to build themselves back up.  Here at Barnes Kasson we offer transitional care.  This is better known by the term Swing Bed Care in our facility.  What does this mean, well it means that extended care can be provided to you after an acute care stay.  The therapy team will continue to work with you twice a day and work towards the ultimate goal of discharge. 

Here at Barnes-Kasson we realize that patients are individuals and not numbers, our therapists will take time to listen to concerns, to devise individualized plans of treatment and to make sure that the each patient reaches their fullest rehab potential.  Our individualized care, our qualified staff and our commitment to meeting your needs,  makes us the right choice to become your rehabilitation team.

Our Dental Clinic offers a friendly and caring atmosphere.  Our dental staff are gentle, kind and patient, and willing to listen to the patient concerns.  Communication between staff, patients and families are a priority for us.  We strive to make each patient feel comfortable, giving them a positive dental experience.

 Our Imaging Services...

X-Rays are an extremely useful tool for health care professionals in identifying problems with bones, organs and structures. X-Rays are painless and low risk, and are used to help find the cause of common symptoms, find particular conditions and monitor treatment. 

Computed Tomography (CT) produces a series of detailed, three-dimensional images of parts of the body.  The CT is a painless, fast scan that uses both special x-ray equipment and computers to produce images that are more detailed than regular x-rays.  Scans are used to diagnose conditions such as cancer, musculoskeletal disease and trauma to certain area of the body.  Detailed results of a CT can eliminate or reduce the need for surgical biopsies and exploratory surgery. 

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)  develops detailed pictures of the inside of your body without the use of invasive techniques or x-ray radiation.   tests are preformed using a strong magnetic field and radio waves to produce a clear, detailed view of a patients internal organs and tissues.  MRI's are used to assess a variety of situations - from knee or head injures to tumors of blood vessel disorders. They are valuable for the diagnosis of a broad condition in all parts of the body.

Ultrasound is a medical imaging technique that uses high frequency sound waves to study many organs of the body instead of radiation.  When ultrasound waves are recorded they are immediately displayed on a monitor in real time.  Ultrasounds are commonly associated with pregnancy, however are also used to create pictures of vessels or organs inside the patients body. 

Nuclear Medicine examinations produce images that can help a physician diagnose a specific disease or disorder, or capture images of infections or tumors in specific organs. Patients are given a small amount of a radioactive compound that localizes in specific body organs systems.  This compound gives off energy which can be detected by a special camera and used to produce and image that can be viewed on a computer.  Radiation from the exams are about the same as a standard X-Ray.

Bone Densitometry (DEXA) is a dual energy X-Ray absorptiometry scan also called a bone density scan which is a common technique used to measure bone density.  This is a painless procedure that sends a beam of low dose X-rays with a high energy peak and a low energy peak through the bones.  One energy peak is absorbed by the bones and the other is absorbed by the soft tissues.  Bone density scans are used to evaluate a person risk for osteoporosis or any other known bone demineralization.  

Digital Mammography (Through Lourdes Mission in Motion)  is a process of using low energy x-rays to examine the human breast.  The goal of mammography is early detection of breast cancer by looking for characteristic masses or micro calcifications. 

***Please note Lourdes Mission in Motion services are only available on select days throughout the month. PA insurance is accepted.***
