“Health and intellect are the two blessings of life.” – Menander

Cohen Rehabilitation Center at The Cedars in Portland, Maine, you’ll find not only state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation, but a holistic focus on wellness that includes sharing interests, attending events, expanding knowledge and skills and participating in meaningful activities. We call it Life Enrichment, and the lives of our seniors are rich indeed. 

Community programs and activities
Succeeding in therapy requires mental stamina, too. When you feel focused, positive and engaged in your treatment, you see better results in the therapy gym. Take time for yourself. See concerts or attend readings, play bridge, join into a current events discussion or learn a new art, craft or cooking technique. Participating in the group activities and events happening every day across our senior living community refreshes and rejuvenates your mind, and reminds you that you belong to a larger senior living community and that you are working hard to rejoin the community at large.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Program: Living Well With Dementia

Living Well With Dementia is a cognitive community-based outpatient program which incorporates The Cedars’ six dimensions of wellness: physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, occupational and social.  We believe that individuals with an early diagnosis of dementia can improve their overall function, leading to a higher quality of life, and keeping them home longer.

This innovative program is structured to facilitate health stability and functional competence, enabling people with dementia to live safely at home.  This is done by targeting meaningful, holistic rehabilitation based on current sound research and health maintenance.  Our assessments and programs are implemented by a team of highly qualified rehabilitation personnel in the area of gerontology: occuational, physical and speech therapy and rehabilitation.  The programs are individually tailored to focus on maximizing independence at home and in the community.
