Thrivera Therapy at Creekside

Helping you regain abilities for daily living.

Physical therapy to restore mobility, occupational therapy to enhance daily living skills and speech therapy to improve communication, for overall independence and well-being.

Therapy at Creekside is now Thrivera Therapy

Thrivera Therapy

Thrivera is the well-being partner of Western Home Services. It brings our therapy, in-home care, fitness, salon and lifestyle coaching services together under one name, with one goal: helping you live independently and with purpose.

At Creekside, physical, occupational and speech therapy take place in our on-site therapy gym, close to home. Aquatic therapy, oncology rehab and Thrivera’s most advanced equipment are at the Cedar Falls campus, and Creekside residents can be transported there.

A Center of Excellence in Oncology Rehabilitation

Oncology rehab

Therapy can help at every stage of cancer care, from the day of diagnosis through the years after treatment. Oncology rehab is offered at Thrivera Therapy’s Cedar Falls campus, and Creekside residents can be transported there.

At diagnosis: prehabilitation

We take baseline measurements, then work to improve them to maximize recovery and minimize functional decline after cancer treatment.

During treatment: rehabilitation

Specialized care protocols support healing and ease symptoms from cancer treatments.

After treatment: acute rehabilitation

For 12 to 18 months after treatment, therapy helps ease symptoms, improve quality of life and maximize functional recovery.

Ongoing: surveillance

We keep watch for late-developing symptoms.

For people living with Parkinson’s

Speak Out!

In the Speak Out! program, people with Parkinson’s work one on one with a speech pathologist. The program typically involves 12 sessions over four weeks, and it’s open to residents and non-residents alike. It’s available in Grundy Center and Cedar Falls.
