Speech therapy is a treatment that addresses issues with language and speech. When your loved one struggles with speaking or swallowing, their ability to communicate is negatively affected. It’s important to quickly address the speech and language issues your loved one exhibits. If they can’t tell you when they’re in pain or uncomfortable, you won’t know when or how to solve their problem.

Speech therapy can help your loved one develop effective new strategies for speaking and swallowing.
As people grow older, their vocal cords lose their elasticity and muscles used in speech weaken, making consistent communication a challenge. Speech therapy is an essential tool in geriatric rehabilitation. Proper treatment can resolve disorders that affect language, communication, and cognition.
If the older adult under your care suffers from a disease or disorder like Parkinson’s, dementia, Alzheimer’s, dysphagia, or aphasia, working with a speech-language pathologist may improve their condition. The speech-language pathologists at MDC Healthcare can improve speech and swallowing processes for your loved one by performing non-invasive evaluations and treatments that include speaker strategies and diet modifications.
Vocal exercises for swallowing and language skill recovery include:

MDC Healthcare’s speech-language pathologists provide the services needed to improve your loved one’s ability to swallow and use their vocal cords.
Strokes occur when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or when a blood vessel bursts and spills blood into the spaces around brain cells. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports that over 700,000 people suffer a stroke in the United States every year. One in four stroke survivors experience speech and swallowing impairments like aphasia and require speech therapy to recover.
The treatment plan we create for your loved one encourages neuroplasticity in the brain.
In addition to physical therapy and occupational therapy, speech therapy for stroke survivors is instrumental to recovery. MDC Healthcare’s speech therapists prescribe exercises for stroke survivors to address discomfort and correct reading, eating, and communication issues.
The treatment plan we create for your loved one encourages neuroplasticity in the brain. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself, which means that healthy areas of the brain are stimulated to take over language functions. The repetitive activities involved with speech therapy promote the recovery of speech and communication functions in your loved one’s brain.
MDC Healthcare enables your loved ones to live comfortably at home for as long as possible. For years, our caregivers have helped the elderly stay with their families and lead enriching social lives. No matter your cultural or financial needs, we can take care of you.
