Supporting strength, balance, independence, and quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia in Henderson, Nevada.
At Vineyard Henderson Memory Care, we believe exceptional dementia care means supporting the whole person—not just their memory care needs. That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with FOX Rehabilitation, bringing specialized physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services directly to our memory care community in Henderson, Nevada.
Through this collaboration, eligible residents can access individualized therapy services where they live, with the goal of improving mobility, maintaining functional abilities, reducing fall risks, and supporting greater independence.
For families exploring memory care in Henderson, Anthem, Seven Hills, Green Valley, or the greater Las Vegas Valley, this partnership adds another valuable layer of support to our personalized approach to dementia care.
What Therapy Services Are Available at Vineyard Henderson Memory Care?
Through our partnership with FOX Rehabilitation, residents have access to three specialized rehabilitation services: physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology. These services are designed to address the unique challenges older adults may experience as their physical and cognitive needs change.
FOX specializes in geriatric rehabilitation, using evidence-based treatment approaches and individualized care plans to help older adults maintain or improve their functional abilities.
Physical Therapy: Improving Strength, Balance, and Mobility
Maintaining physical strength and mobility can become increasingly challenging as individuals age, particularly when living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
Physical therapy helps address these challenges through individualized exercises and interventions focused on:
- Improving balance and coordination
- Building and maintaining muscle strength
- Supporting safer walking and movement
- Addressing mobility limitations
- Reducing the risk of falls
- Maintaining physical function and independence
For example, a resident experiencing difficulty standing from a chair or walking safely may benefit from exercises designed to improve leg strength, stability, and mobility.
At Vineyard Henderson, having access to physical therapy within the community allows eligible residents to receive support in a familiar environment.
Occupational Therapy: Supporting Everyday Independence
Occupational therapy focuses on helping individuals maintain the skills needed for daily activities.
For residents living with dementia, even familiar routines can become challenging as cognitive and physical abilities change.
Occupational therapists may help residents with:
- Dressing, grooming, and personal care routines
- Improving coordination and functional movement
- Practicing everyday tasks
- Using adaptive equipment when appropriate
- Developing strategies for safer daily activities
- Maintaining as much independence as possible
The goal isn’t simply to complete a task. It’s to help residents continue participating in meaningful activities with confidence, dignity, and appropriate support.
Speech Therapy: Supporting Communication, Cognition, and Swallowing
Speech-language pathology addresses more than speech alone. It can also support cognitive-communication skills and swallowing function.
For individuals living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, speech therapy may help address challenges involving:
- Expressing needs and communicating with others
- Understanding and following conversations
- Memory and attention during daily activities
- Cognitive-communication abilities
- Swallowing difficulties
- Maintaining functional communication skills
These services can be especially meaningful for residents who experience frustration when communicating or difficulty participating in conversations.
FOX clinicians develop individualized treatment plans based on each person’s abilities, needs, and clinical assessment.
A Proactive Approach to Fall Prevention: FOX Restoring Balance
Falls are a significant concern for older adults, particularly individuals experiencing changes in mobility, balance, judgment, or physical strength.
FOX Rehabilitation’s Restoring Balance program emphasizes proactive fall-risk identification rather than waiting until an injury occurs.
Through evidence-based functional assessments and collaboration with on-site nursing teams, FOX clinicians can identify residents who may be at increased risk of falling.
Depending on individual needs, interventions may focus on strengthening muscles, improving balance, supporting safer movement, and addressing mobility limitations.
This collaborative approach can help care teams better understand residents’ changing needs and identify appropriate strategies for reducing fall risks.
Although no program can eliminate every fall, proactive assessments and individualized interventions can play an important role in supporting resident safety.
FOX Restoring Life: Specialized Therapy for Individuals Living with Dementia
One particularly meaningful component of this partnership is FOX Rehabilitation’s Restoring Life program.
Designed specifically for individuals living with dementia, Restoring Life uses a stage-specific approach that considers each person’s cognitive and functional abilities.
Rather than focusing only on what someone has lost, the program emphasizes what they can still do.
Focusing on Abilities, Not Limitations
Dementia affects individuals differently. A person may have difficulty remembering recent events while maintaining meaningful abilities, familiar routines, physical skills, and emotional connections.
Restoring Life uses individualized therapeutic interventions to support daily functioning and improve the quality of interactions.
The program also emphasizes strategies that help caregivers better understand communication needs, behaviors, and the challenges associated with dementia.
At Vineyard Henderson, this philosophy complements our commitment to person-centered memory care, where each resident’s history, preferences, abilities, and dignity remain central to the care experience.
The Benefits of On-Site Therapy in a Memory Care Community
For families researching memory care facilities in Henderson, Nevada, access to therapy services within the community can be an important consideration.
There are several potential advantages.
1. Less Transportation and Disruption
Traveling to outside medical appointments can be tiring or confusing for individuals living with dementia.
Because FOX provides outpatient therapy directly within the community, eligible residents can receive treatment without routinely traveling to an off-site rehabilitation clinic for those services.
2. A Familiar, Comfortable Environment
Familiar surroundings and consistent routines can be valuable for individuals experiencing memory loss.
Receiving therapy where a resident lives can reduce the disruption associated with unfamiliar clinical environments.
3. Collaboration With the Care Team
FOX clinicians can collaborate with Vineyard Henderson’s nursing and care teams to communicate concerns, review functional changes, and support appropriate care planning.
This is particularly valuable when a resident returns from a hospitalization or rehabilitation stay or experiences changes in mobility.
4. Individualized Support as Needs Change
A resident’s abilities may change over time.
Access to geriatric rehabilitation professionals creates opportunities for appropriate assessments and therapy interventions that respond to evolving physical, functional, or communication needs.
5. Greater Focus on Quality of Life
Supporting a resident’s ability to walk comfortably, participate in everyday routines, communicate needs, or engage in meaningful activities can contribute to greater confidence and quality of life.
Therapy isn’t only about recovering abilities. When clinically appropriate, it can also help maintain existing function or slow functional decline.

Does Medicare Cover Therapy Services at Vineyard Henderson?
FOX Rehabilitation is a Medicare Part B provider offering outpatient rehabilitation services for older adults.
Medicare Part B may cover medically necessary physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services when applicable coverage requirements are met.
Unlike traditional home health services, outpatient therapy provided through FOX does not require an individual to be homebound. A recent hospitalization is not required simply to be considered for therapy.
However, services are not automatically included in the monthly memory care rate, and coverage depends on medical necessity, insurance benefits, eligibility, and other applicable requirements.
FOX also describes private-pay options for certain services.
Families should speak directly with FOX Rehabilitation and their insurance provider to understand eligibility, potential costs, and available treatment options.
