Rehabilitation Services at Goodwin Senior Living Campuses
Older adults at Goodwin Senior Living Campuses can receive rehabilitation services where they live. This convenient access in familiar surroundings can support strength, balance, mobility, communication and everyday activities.
What Therapy Services Does Goodwin Rehabilitation Offer?
Our core services include physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. From your first evaluation, a licensed therapist takes time to understand your health, your abilities and the activities that matter most to you. Together, we build a personalized plan for maintaining or regaining function and independence. Throughout your care, your therapist explains what to expect, listens closely and offers encouragement when the work feels challenging.
What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy can improve movement, strength, balance, flexibility and mobility while helping manage pain. Your treatment reflects your abilities and personal goals, with exercises and guided practice that may help you walk more safely, use stairs or return to an activity that matters to you.
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy supports greater safety and independence in everyday life. Your therapist may help you practice daily tasks, adapt familiar routines or use equipment that makes activities more manageable, so you can take part more confidently in hobbies and community life.
What Is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy addresses needs related to speech, voice, language, cognition and swallowing. Guided by your evaluation and comfort, therapy may help you communicate with the people you care about, strengthen memory and problem-solving skills, or eat and drink more safely.
What Can You Expect From Goodwin Rehabilitation?
Your first visit generally begins with an evaluation and a conversation about what matters most to you. A licensed therapist listens to your concerns, learns about your health and abilities, and works with you to set meaningful goals at a pace that feels manageable. Follow-up visits build on that conversation through targeted activities, progress and thoughtful adjustments to your plan.
Your input shapes the process. Tell our therapists what feels difficult, ask questions and share which activities matter most to you. We create space for you to voice concerns, celebrate progress and revise your goals as your needs change, helping therapy stay connected to daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Goodwin Rehabilitation Services Only for Older Adults at Goodwin Senior Living Campuses?
No. Community members and Goodwin Living team members may receive outpatient rehabilitation in McLean at Lewinsville Retirement Residence, in Arlington at Culpepper Garden, in Alexandria at The View Alexandria and in Washington, D.C., at Forest Hills of D.C. by Goodwin Living. Goodwin Rehabilitation also provides campus-based rehabilitation for residents of Goodwin Senior Living Campuses.
Do I Need a Referral for Outpatient Rehabilitation?
Not always. Physical therapy may be available without a referral through direct access if you have Medicare or many commercial insurance plans. Occupational therapy and speech-language therapy usually require a referral, and requirements may vary by insurance plan.
How Is Outpatient Rehabilitation Covered by Insurance?
Coverage depends on your plan and eligibility. Outpatient rehabilitation is often covered under Medicare Part B, and coverage may also be available through Medicaid, Medicare Advantage or other commercial insurance plans. Contact your insurance provider to confirm benefits and any plan requirements.
Can I Receive Home Health and Outpatient Rehabilitation at the Same Time?
Generally, no. Medicare and insurance requirements usually mean home health must end before outpatient rehabilitation begins. You may transition when travel becomes safer and your therapy goals call for a clinic setting; your physician, therapist and care team can help determine the right time. Compare home health and outpatient rehabilitation for more information.
What Should I Expect and Bring to My First Outpatient Rehabilitation Appointment?
Your first outpatient rehabilitation appointment generally begins with an evaluation and a conversation about your goals. Bring any referral or medical information from your care team, your insurance policy information and relevant medical history. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early and wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move safely.
Can Family Members or Care Partners Participate in Goodwin Rehabilitation Services?
Family members or care partners may be able to participate when appropriate and with your permission. Their presence can offer reassurance, help reinforce strategies and support continuity at home.
