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 achieve a better quality of life. By focusing on exercises for the face, mouth, and throat muscles, they can improve swallowing, enhance speech clarity, and foster better communication with others.
Speech therapy or speech pathology can also cover conditions such as aphasia, apraxia and dysphagia.
Our speech therapists perform assessments to evaluate the scope of communication and swallowing disorders resulting from conditions such as Dementia, Stroke, Parkinson's disease, brain injury, spinal cord injury, head and neck cancers.
Following the assessment, a personalised care plan which may include therapeutic exercises will be developed to support the unique needs of each client.
During the initial visit, you can expect the following:
Assessment:
Our speech therapists will request information, including medical history, current concerns, and other relevant details from caregivers. The therapist will then conduct an examination to assess clients' speech, language, oromotor, and swallowing and speaking ability. Based on the assessment, our speech therapists will offer initial recommendations including exercises and caregiver training where relevant.
Review and Discussion:
At the end of the session, our speech therapist will initiate a conversation with the client and caregiver on the planned therapy. This includes discussing established goals and the recommended frequency of therapy sessions.
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!
