A Team for Huntington Disease Care and Therapy Services
When families are looking for specialty care services, one or more of three primary concerns are on their priorities: care for swallowing difficulties, fall prevention, and mobility programs. Often, residents need care onsite that addresses behavioral changes, such as mood swings, irritability, and cognitive challenges. We offer psychiatry services on-site alongside other critical therapies. Physical therapy allows residents to live a greater quality of life with more confidence in moving and functional fitness.
At ArchCare, our collaborative team of specialists can provide support across several parts of health and well-being. Here’s how each professional contributes to this holistic approach:
Neurologists or Movement Disorder Specialists: Monitor chorea and manage it properly.
Psychiatrists: Support emotional and behavioral health with compassionate care
Internal Medicine Physicians: Focus on overall health management to address general medical needs effectively.
Physical and Occupational Therapists: Help preserve mobility and independence so your loved one can stay active.
Speech and Language Pathologists: Help your loved one communicate and swallow better.
Nutritionists/Dietitians: Make sure your loved one eats well and maintains a healthy weight.
Social Workers: Guide families through difficult times, provide resources, and offer emotional support.
Recreational or Art Therapists: Bring joy and engagement to people through structured, meaningful activities.
Adaptive Equipment Specialists: Find tools and devices that make it easier to move around safely while preventing falls.
This team-based, person-centered approach addresses both the physical and emotional needs of your loved one.
