Physical and Occupational Therapy
The health care team at Noyes Hospital is committed to maximizing the functional potential of all rehabilitation patients.

The customer-focused, team-oriented Noyes Rehabilitation group works with you to make your experience satisfying and worthwhile.  To ensure you receive quality care, our team works with you, being flexible and timely in order to meet your needs. 

Therapy is offered at two locations for your convenience, Nicholas H. Noyes Hospital in Dansville, (585) 335-4239 and Livingston Health Services, an extension of Noyes Hospital, located in Geneseo, (585) 991-6005.

You are the most important member of our team, and our only reason for being here!  Our goal is to maximize the functional potential of each individual through evaluation, educational assessment, and therapeutic application of the staff's knowledge and skills.  Your needs, abilities and desires will be the driving force in directing your rehabilitation schedule.

To effectively meet the needs of our community, the department provides both physical and occupational therapy.  Treatments are provided on either an inpatient or outpatient basis at the hospital, depending on the patient's medical diagnosis.  To enhance patient convenience, outpatient therapy has been extended to Livingston Health Services in Geneseo.
