WORK PROGRAMS and CARF ACCREDITATION

Lake Area Physical Therapy & Aquatics was awarded its third consecutive 3 year accreditation for General Occupational Rehabilitation Programs (Adults) in May, 2006. This achievement is an indication of the organization's dedication and commitment to improving the quality of the lives of the persons served. Our services, personnel and documentation indicate an established pattern of practice excellence.

As a provider of physical therapy and occupational therapy in the Lake Area since 1986, many local companies and businesses in Bradford, Clay, and Alachua counties have utilized our out-patient services for the delivery of rehabilitation for their workers injuries. CARF accreditation has enhanced our relationship with our payors and allowed our communities to keep their residents close to home for their rehabilitation.

Work Hardening and Work Conditioning programs are comprehensive and outcome oriented services designed to minimize the risk and optimize the work capability of the persons served. These programs provide for the proactive management of injured workers who are transitioning back to work.

Functional Capacity Evaluations are offered at Lake Area Physical Therapy & Aquatics. Our team of therapists are able to schedule the FCE within 24 hours and provide a written report within 3 work days. Immediate access to physical therapy and occupational therapy is available and extended hours are available to those workers who remain on the job.
