Therapy Services
Our staff includes St. Luke's Hospital physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals who specialize in the care of older adults. They monitor our residents' healthcare needs every single day and, when a medical issue arises, our healthcare team addresses it without delay.
Because we are part of St. Luke's Hospital - one of the top hospitals in the country* - physicians from St. Luke's come to Surrey Place to provide residents with individualized care. Among the physicians that visit Surrey Place is a podiatrist, who sees patients upon request, as well as an ophthalmologist and a dentist. When residents need more care than we can provide on-site, we provide complimentary transportation to St. Luke's Hospital and Physician Office Buildings, where they receive all the care they need.
Our medical care is simply the best - and we intend to keep it that way. That's why we regularly provide educational programs for our staff. During these learning sessions, our physicians and other instructors teach staff members about the latest treatment options for diseases and conditions including depression, dementia and incontinence. That means our staff members continually gain the knowledge they need to provide top-quality care for older adults.
We also provide educational programs for our residents' family members. Our director of nursing teaches sessions on topics that are relevant to our residents and their families, such as Medicare Part D and hospice care. Family members have questions about these important topics and we do our best to answer all of them.
- *For the fifth year in a row, St. Luke's Hospital is the only Missouri hospital to be named on the HealthGrades list of America's 50 Best Hospitals™. The designation is based solely on clinical outcomes at each of the nation's nearly 5,000 non-government hospitals. Hospitals cannot opt in or out of this independent analysis. HealthGrades is an independent healthcare ratings organization, and it studied millions of Medicare hospitalization records from 1999 through 2011 across 26 procedures and conditions, from hip replacement to bypass surgery, to determine St. Luke's ranks in the top 1 percent of all hospitals in the nation for quality outcomes. According to HealthGrades, patients admitted to an America's 50 Best Hospital are more likely to have successful treatment without major complications.
- The therapists at Surrey Place have extensive experience in working with aging populations.
- The majority of therapy sessions are one-on-one sessions, therapist and patient, not group therapy sessions.
- Continuity of patient care is enhanced by the completion of therapy progress notes on a daily basis. This provides a detailed account of the patient's progress toward their therapy goals.
- Therapy takes place in a spacious, sunny and well-equipped therapy gym that lends to a pleasant experience. Quiet, more private treatment spaces are utilized for patients needing an alternative setting for their therapy session.
