Assisted Living
Maintaining independence, dignity and respect means everything to our family at Van Dyk as well as the many families we proudly serve. Our wonderful residents at Van Dyk Park Place receive a personalized level of care and assistance that matches exactly what they need — whether it applies to meals and dietary preferences, housekeeping needs, caregiver support, onsite nursing and doctor appointments. When you join our community, we want you to continue your life with the security and comfort of having the support system that is best for you. Assisted living is often the right alternative for persons desiring to continue to live on their own, but need help with certain tasks that are not medically related. Home services may help temporarily, but do not offer the security of an onsite staff 24 hours a day, seven days a week, who can help at a moment’s notice. At Van Dyk Park Place, you can enjoy your own pace in your own space with amenities, activities, and people available when you need them.

Our Services
LightHouse Connections

Outpatient Therapy
Van Dyk Park Place proudly offers outpatient therapy to our residents. As part of our partnership with HealthPro, our therapy begins with a thorough evaluation to identify any physical impairments and functional limitations. Our talented therapists provide personalized care, gauging progress and making adjustments to meet individual goals.
Our physical therapy is used to improve mobility and strength, restore independence, relieve pain and ensure a safe return to daily activities. Our occupational therapy is used to help residents who are recovering from an injury or illness, enabling them to regain functional abilities for daily life and independence.
We see positive clinical outcomes from our outpatient therapy, including improved self-reliance and self-determination, fewer safety risks, fewer falls, increased activity levels and improved coordination and balance.
Medicare Part B helps pay for medically necessary outpatient physical and occupational therapy. Upon receiving authorization from a physician or nurse practitioner, Medicare will pay its share until the total amount reaches the Medicare therapy cap. We accept other health insurance for our outpatient therapy, although you may be required to obtain pre-certification or pre-authorization.
