Therapeutic expertise, compassionate care
Understanding that Guillain-Barré syndrome impacts patients in different ways and that therapy responses are also unique, the team at Sheltering Arms Institute creates customized care plans with individualized goals.
Spacious, all-private rooms featuring Stryker beds, en-suite bathrooms, grab bars, lifts, lay-flat furniture for guests, and large picture windows with views of nature give patients the confidence and foundation they need to recover.
Sheltering Arms Institute’s patients with limb loss begin their inpatient rehabilitation shortly after surgery, receiving steadfast medical oversight, wound care, peer visitor services, prosthetist consultation, and advanced technology such as bodyweight support devices and virtual reality treadmills.
Our physical therapists work with patients living with Guillain-Barré to manage the multiple effects of the syndrome, including progressive muscle weakness, general fatigue, general pain, numbness, tingling, loss of sensation, and loss of deep tendon reflexes.
Occupational therapists at Sheltering Arms Institute help individuals with Guillain-Barré develop effective strategies for activities of daily living that the syndrome may impact such as eating, cooking, dressing, and grooming.
Individuals receiving care for Guillain-Barré syndrome at Sheltering Arms Institute have access to on-site speech-language pathologists to evaluate and address related communication and swallowing challenges.
