At Health Guard Inc., we offer speech therapy for the elderly to help with speech, language and swallowing problems, so seniors can communicate with confidence.
Communication is vital at every age, but many older adults live with conditions like dementia, hearing loss or the effects of a stroke that make it hard to communicate clearly.
Seniors need to communicate effectively to get the help they need and to stay connected with family and friends. Good speech plays an essential role in a senior’s quality of life.
Several conditions may call for speech therapy for the elderly, including:
If you notice these signs, it is time to contact a speech-language pathologist.

Techniques such as head positioning, swallowing maneuvers and mouth exercises can help with swallowing problems (dysphagia).
Speech therapy helps seniors talk naturally again, easing the fear of speaking and rebuilding confidence.
Speech therapy is part of our adult day health care program. Each participant’s goals are included in their individual plan of care, and sessions happen during the program day.
Because participants spend the day talking, eating and taking part in activities with others, they get natural chances to practice what they learn in therapy.
