Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy play an integral role in enhancing quality of life and are powerful modalities for building independence and maintaining function. Bright Side Manor and OUTREACH collaborate to promote independence for older adults and achieve their goals with rehabilitation therapies, leading to better functional outcomes, mobility & quality of life. An emphasis is placed on functional health education and therapy (PT/OT/SLP) for the continuation of progress between therapy sessions and beyond discharge.

Outreach provides excellent and convenient treatment in the privacy of patients’ homes, Senior Livings or their outpatient clinic. Therapists partners one-to-one with clients to address and improve pain levels, posture, range-of-motion, functional strength, balance, coordination, activities of daily living,  cognition, speech and swallowing. Evidence-based treatment is provided to address medical needs of clients with fall risks, chronic conditions (such as movement disorder or memory loss) and making recommendations to maximize safety and independence.

Outreach therapists are experienced and innovative in their care practice, Outreach therapists have the ability to turn a client’s home into the needed workspace by being resourceful with what’s available for treatment along with bringing all necessary equipment and providing a detail-oriented treatment approach. Outreach also works in partnership with Silver Stars Fitness, a personal training organization and Inspired Memory Care, a memory care organization to provide best care the clients and their family members deserve.  

ABOUT Bright Side Manor, Teaneck NJ: Bright Side Manor is a non-profit assisted living community in Teaneck, NJ, that has been providing housing and support services for older adults since 1915. In 2003, they became a licensed assisted living home with a commitment to serve low- and moderate-income older adults, especially those for whom typical assisted living communities are prohibitively expensive. 

Their Mission is to provide affordable housing & support services that respond to the changing needs and preferences of older adults, to offer a choice, to promote dignity and to ensure safety and comfort for our residents. Their home-like environment is what makes them unique to other assisted livings. Currently, in Northern New Jersey, there is a severe shortage of affordable housing and an even greater shortage of affordable assisted living communities. They are proud to be able to help address this need and are continually working toward expanding their programs and services to serve the fast-growing population of seniors.
