Treemont’s fantastic success rate is why many residents specifically come to its’ nursing center, to work with its therapy team. The team fosters such an optimistic, motivational, and fun atmosphere that so positively impacts the success of its residents. For example, a huge factor in therapy is the power of music. Treemont’s team is always playing fun and uplifting music that gets the residents moving and keeps their spirits lifted. The uplifting atmosphere of the therapy room is contagious. Residents, staff, family members, and the team cannot help but join in the fun and help motivate each other. The resident become a team and help encourage each other throughout the process. Therapist Donna Kelley states, “We tell our residents not to look at where you are now, but to look at where you are going, and before you know it you will get three.”
