A Hebrew Health Care staff person helps a resident in HHC’s “As Desired” program.

Hebrew Health Care (HHC) residents who are no longer appropriate to receive traditional rehabilitation therapies in the HHC gym will now be able to receive care through HHC’s “As Desired” program, thanks to funding provided by the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation Fund-Koopman Share of the Jewish Community Foundation. The free program allows residents to exercise whenever they wish with staff supervision. They can continue using services that are no longer covered by Medicare or Medicaid – getting as much beneficial exercise as they desire. Long-term care residents preserve their range of motion, strength, balance, and activity tolerance by continuing with exercises once they have maximized their abilities and have been discharged from a skilled rehabilitation program.
