COVID-19 Recovery Program

Helping People Recover

People recovering from COVID-19 can experience a variety of symptoms: 

Therapy exercise

  • General fatigue
  • Shortness of breath
  • Endurance/balance issues
  • Decreased blood oxygen levels
  • Memory loss + word-finding difficulties
  • Executive-functioning difficulties (e.g., struggle with planning, problem-solving, time management, etc.)

The Beaufort Memorial COVID-19 Recovery Program helps patients recovering from COVID-19 understand their symptoms and work through their limitations to help them move beyond the virus.

We treat COVID-19 patients who are experiencing long-term effects (greater than four weeks) from their infection. This condition is sometimes referred to as long-haul COVID-19 or long COVID-19. This includes:

  • Patients recovering from a hospital stay or "long-haulers"
  • Patients who did not require hospitalization but are recovering from COVID-19 and bed rest-related impairments (e.g., decreased balance, fatigue, "brain fog")

Program Goals

The goal of the program is to address the physical and cognitive decline that affect:

  • Speech
  • Balance
  • Strength
  • Cognition
  • Swallowing
  • Joint mobility
  • Cardiovascular endurance
  • Memory/executive functioning

The team is comprised of pulmonologists; pulmonary rehabilitation professionals; and physical, occupational and speech therapists who have experience working with COVID-19 patients in the hospital and/or outpatient setting. Their thorough understanding of a patient’s progression and symptoms during recovery led to the development of a model of care for patients with COVID-19 related complications.
