Speech, Physical, & Occupational Therapy

Therapy Services

The United Presbyterian Home partners with Blue Stone Therapy to provide speech, occupational and physical therapy on-campus at the UP Home. Blue Stone was founded by a long-term care operator for long-term care operators.

From the beginning, Blue Stone Therapy was created with the sole purpose of enhancing the lives of seniors and the communities where they live.  Over the years, they have become known for high standards of quality care and exceptional outcomes.
