Easy Street Environments
Easy
Street Environments is an integral part of the comprehensive rehabilitation
program offered at Northwest Hospital & Medical Center. Easy Street is a
life-sized replica of a city street that provides a unique concept in medical
rehabilitation. Individual modules include a grocery store, bus stop, greenhouse,
Laundromat, restaurant, theatre, and home with a kitchen, dining room, and bedroom.
These areas of Easy Street incorporate real world obstacles including curbs,
steps, ramps, slopes, and turnstiles. A physical therapy gym and occupational
therapy center are conveniently located on Easy Street. The Easy Street Environments
enhance the well-established rehabilitation program offered at Northwest Hospital
& Medical Center, and is the only facility of its kind in Washington State.
Easy Street Environments is advantageous to patients striving to relearn daily
living skills in order to regain their independence and confidence in everyday
tasks. The interdisciplinary rehabilitation team encourages patients to achieve
functional goals and Easy Street is an ideal setting for obtaining these goals.
