In-Service /Education Services

Glantz/Richman Rehabilitation Associates pairs licensed, certified therapists with facilities requiring their specific skills. Therapists work closely with primary care givers to ensure that the benefits of therapy continue long after services are complete.

In addition to providing therapists for specialized needs, Glantz/Richman Rehabilitation Associates develops individually tailored action plans and educational programs for facilities wishing to enhance their clients' quality of life. Their reputation in education is rooted in a 42-hour activities curriculum they developed for the Illinois Department of Public Health for long-term care personnel. This program, as well as other education programs, is offered to clients.

Cutting Edge Services

• Glantz/Richman Rehabilitation Associates is a licensee of the computerized evaluation system "Lifease" which evaluates the functional abilities of the client, evaluates the client's environment, compares the demands of the environment vs. the abilities of the client , identifies problem areas, develops solutions, provides product resources and price comparisons and procurement information, and provides installment information. The EASE evaluation can be used for an admission / placement assessment, for environmental modification of living space prior to client's moving in, when decline in function occurs, and to identify appropriate activities which can allow the person to succeed in their pursuits. This tool can be used near the completion of therapy prior to discharge and is beneficial to assist in the patient's transition to their home or permanent place of residence.
• Considerable success has been achieved with Glantz/Richman Rehabilitation Associates' involvement with facilities in their specialized programs such as “Freedom from Incontinence”, “Special Care Households”, “Safety Programs”, “Dining Programs”, “Arthritis Programs” and others that can be beneficial to individuals and families with special needs.
