 ”Many programs within the Sticht Center are focused on the ‘little things’ that our patients will have to cope with and overcome on a daily basis – things that many of us take for granted, such as preparing a simple meal, making a bed or taking a shower. At the Sticht Center, you can practice these skills in real-life environments before you return home. In full-size kitchens in the Therapy Gyms, we can show you how to use adaptive devices to make cooking easier. In our Independent Living Apartments, we can show you the safe and easy methods of getting in or out of bed or shower. These ‘little things’ will be very important to you the first day you go home.”
