We look forward to helping you reach your recovery goals.
Inpatient Rehabilitation Services (Long-Term Therapy)
Pine Ridge offers inpatient rehabilitation services to patients in need of long-term therapy. Certain physical and neurological recoveries require more intensive, long-term rehabilitation and around-the-clock care which involves temporarily or permanently moving into a rehabilitation facility.
Common needs for inpatient rehabilitation are:
- Orthopedic surgery recovery
- Neurological surgery recovery
- Cardiopulmonary surgery recovery
- Complex medical complications
- Generalized weakness & difficulty with daily living
If you are in need of long-term rehabilitation, our dedicated team will develop a comprehensive individualized treatment plan designed to meet your specific needs working toward a safe and quick return home. During your stay with us, it is our goal to make your experience as enjoyable as possible with comfortable accommodations & amenities.
Outpatient Rehabilitation Services (Short-Term Therapy)
For patients with less severe injuries who do not need intensive care, outpatient therapy is an option. Outpatient therapy means that you will continue to live at home and visit the therapy clinic for scheduled appointments for the duration of your recovery. At Pine Ridge Health Care, we work with each of our patients to create a therapy plan that meets their recovery goals and fits within their daily schedule.
Outpatient therapy is often the best option for:
- Physical injuries that do not inhibit daily living
- Minor surgery recoveries
- Larger surgery recoveries (such as knee-replacements) that do not require long-term therapy and care
- Help adjusting to progressive movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease
- Generalized speech challenges

Occupational Therapy in Livingston, TX
Another way that Pine Ridge Heath Care serves our East Texas community is through effective occupational therapy. While OT encompasses many forms and treatments, the ultimate goal is always to enhance the patient’s daily function of living.
Surgery, Stroke & Mobility Treatment
Recovering from surgeries, strokes, or other injuries and illnesses can be extremely challenging and requires specialized care in the hands of a skilled occupational therapist. Through various treatments and activities, our OT staff seek to rebuild your mobility, strength and balance, self-care skills, and most importantly, educate you on how to live a safe lifestyle that prevents future injury.
Adaptation for Daily Living
Even when full recovery may not be possible, occupational therapy provides a way forward by helping you to adapt to your circumstances and regain your daily living function and independence through creative treatment plans.
Speech Therapy in Livingston, TX
Patients affected by stroke, traumatic brain injury, or various other medical disorders often find themselves in need of speech therapy. Despite its name, speech therapy (also known as speech-language pathology) not only involves the treatment of speech disorders, it also treats chewing and swallowing disorders.
The Challenges of Speech Therapy
Regardless of specific symptoms or causes, changes in one’s ability to communicate and/or eat are arguably some of the most frustrating medical challenges to overcome. Our caring and patient speech therapists are aware of these challenges and are here to help with substantive treatment plans.
Causes & Treatment Plans
Unlike more visible physical ailments, speech rehabilitation needs most often stem from neurological damage and can vary broadly on a patient-by-patient basis. Because of this, it takes a skilled speech therapist to not only identify causes but also to come up with a personalized treatment plan that targets a patient's specific deficits. Additionally, the therapist must continually assess progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
If you live in East Texas and have a need for speech therapy, Pine Ridge Health Care is here to provide you with the personalized treatment you need in a caring and comfortable atmosphere.
