Speech therapy focuses on exercising the face, mouth, and throat muscles to improve the ability to swallow and speak.
Seniors living with conditions such as dementia, stroke and Parkinson's Disease may find it difficult to speak or swallow, thereby putting them at risk of choking, or being unable to communicate their needs.
Our professional speech therapists can help your loved one work toward a better quality of life. With a focus on exercising the face, mouth, and throat muscles, your loved one can improve swallowing, speak with greater clarity and understand others better.
Modes of treatment
My mother suffered a severe stroke. She was fortunate to receive excellent physiotherapy and occupational therapy at home on a weekly basis. The therapists taught my helpers how to help and do the exercises with my mum. Their patience, care and dedication helped my mum to gain some independence. The speech therapists were also wonderful. With a collective effort from all sides we could reduce my mum's visits to the hospital and that was indeed a huge blessing. A big heartfelt thanks to everyone in my Mum's therapy team!
