I spent 3 weeks in rehab and got both OT and PT and was very happy with the staff and their help getting me up on my feet again. The nursing staff was also very attentive and efficient. Thankful to the people who were a part of my recovery. Do recommend.

A big shoutout and thank you to the staff for their care of my mom after her fall. They had her up and independent in less than 3 weeks and while she is happy to be home she did enjoy the people who took such good care of her. Miss Mary says thank you

We had a wonderful experience with the 3 years our family member resided at Dover Center. We always knew she was well taken care of. Daphne and Annie went above and beyond for us. We will forever be grateful for the care we had at Dover Center.

I have worked for Dover Rehab since 2017. In that time I have gained a family that I will always love to have They support those who further their education including pursuing MNA and RN as I am now. They gave me a flexible sheduale for school and are beyond compassionate and caring. Shortly after coming back per diem after leaving for under a year my mother passed away somewhat suddenly and they sent me messages of love and support some being floor staff others being my DON ADONSheduler and my Administrator. Coming back fulltime was the best decision I made as this is my second home where we are all welcomed and loved and supported. The residents look forward to seeing us everyday and we connect with them. The smiles from the residents makes my day Its a good family foundation for new and experienced LNAs nurses MNAs etc. My mom stayed here two times a few years ago and was going through respiratory therapy and physical therapy. The PT department had AMAZING patience with her. Not only did they have patience with her but as did Chuck from Respritory Therapy and June the nurse. Chuck and June met all her needs giving all the patience and more to make her feel heard on her worries. June was not just her nurse but also a listening ear as my mom was in the process of being diagnosed and was emotionally upset. June supported her as well as all the staff but loved June like a friend.

Ive worked as a Nurse for Dover rehab over the years and have found it to be my foundation in my career. My co workers have been very supportive along with my DON and ADMINISTRATOR with me and my work ethics and knowledge. Team work is core to any foundation in a medical facility and Dover strives for that . Im happy with the path Dover rehab has me on and I have filled in for many positive positions through out the years such as admissions nurse weekend supervisor and 2nd shift supervisor . I have currently come back to Dover after being an infections control nurse staff development from another building during Covid 19 outbreak along with having to fill in as unit manager at that other facility. Being at Dover has been less stressful for me knowing the compassion and support the team gives to employees is undoubtedly more than others out there do. I must say Dover Center for Health and Rehabilitation is a great place to work overall.

What a pleasant surprise Dover Center turned out to be. After a 2 week stay in an acute care hospital I was sent to Dover to continue my healing strengthening and preparation to home after a complex surgery. The staff including nursing rehab and administration made this transition as smooth as possible. They were really there for me treating me with empathy kindness and professionalism. The facility itself was top notch and clean. Everyone I mean everyone seemed to genuinely care about me and my daily improvement. My only negative comment and its really not negative that the 3 Rehab disciplines PT OT SLP were so encouraging and good at what they do that my insurance company felt I was ready to go home although I wanted to stay continue strengthening and maximize my recovery. Thank you Dover Care.

It is a terrible health facility. The food is disgusting and their food is the cheapest things they can find. One day for dinner you might get one hot dog and canned beans. The care is subpar at best

I loved working with the residents and treating them with dignity but the Nurses and the LNAs treat them horribly and dont take their time to understand the residents needs and no one likes working with each other. I brought this problem up to them many times and nothing was done. The environment is really toxic. I wouldnt recommend leaving your elders here or working here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like:
responding to questions
starting or ending conversation
changing conversation topics
using gestures like pointing
understanding other people's body language
Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. There is a critical period in the brain for language development and so, it's really important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. Your child will learn effective ways to communicate which will help them grow into more independent and confident individuals.
It might be obvious when a child struggles with speaking —they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don't speak at all.
Spot speech and language delays like a doctor here.
The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
Some other common things speech therapists can help with:
Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
Forming speech in a clearer way
Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
Understanding and responding to questions
Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
Noticing and understanding body language
Feeding and swallowing
Stuttering
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
Here are a few things you will want to discuss with a potential respite worker: (Keep in mind that the most important step is to observe how the respite worker interacts with your child and your family.)
Do they have work experience with children with autism?
How will the respite worker support your child in a group setting?
Do they have concerns about taking this job?
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
