John T. Mather Memorial Hospital's TCU offers a comprehensive array of care and medical support services. These services include physical therapy, aimed at restoring mobility and strength; speech therapy, to assist with communication and swallowing issues; and occupational therapy, which focuses on enabling patients to perform daily tasks independently. The unit also provides podiatry services, ensuring specialized foot care, and a beauty shop to accommodate personal grooming needs.
