Senior Speech Therapy
The ability to communicate clearly is important at any age, but absolutely vital for older people. Due to their age, if they cannot clearly state what they want, where pain is or other general problems, then the situation can easily spiral into an emergency.
SpeechAim provides dedicated senior therapy to help older people regain independence and ensure their safety through improved communication.

Speech Therapy Sessions for Seniors
As people grow older, their muscles tend to deteriorate and weaken. Muscles become less elastic and the larynx can weaken. Voice problems can cause distress as people struggle to speak the way they are accustomed to. At SpeechAim our therapy is designed to restore confidence in older members of society by helping them to communicate clearly and feel like themselves again.
Seniors also often require speech therapy in response to a stroke, or other form of brain injury. In Canada over 50,000 people suffer strokes annually which indicates just how important this therapy is. Recovery from strokes is possible but requires care, patience and hard work.
SpeechAim's senior therapy involves sessions with Speech-Language Pathologists. The therapy can take place either one on one or in a comfortable group environment. Our team can help you regain language skills, use your voice, or learn alternative means of communication. We can also help you improve your swallowing ability, and increase problem solving and social skills needed to cope with stroke consequences and improved quality of living.
We understand that not being able to communicate effectively can be incredibly frustrating. SpeechAim will help identify the problem area so we can determine the most effective treatment plan for you. Everyone, regardless of their age, deserves personally designed speech therapy, and that's what we offer.

Ways to Help at Home
While damage to the brain may disrupt the language centres, it is still possible to grow new paths.
Using familiar objects from the senior's home to create questions is one such technique. Talking to them and describing who's in a picture, where they got a trophy or how they earned a medal can help their recovery.
Arranging for senior therapy with SpeechAim will provide a structured recovery plan with personalised vocal and/or alternative communication techniques.
Why Communication Matters for Seniors
Clear communication is essential for maintaining independence and ensuring safety in older adults. When seniors cannot effectively communicate their needs, pain levels, or concerns, it can lead to:
- Misunderstandings about medication or health conditions
- Social isolation and decreased quality of life
- Difficulty accessing necessary care and support
- Loss of dignity and independence
Our senior speech therapy services focus on preserving and improving communication abilities, ensuring your loved ones can maintain their independence and receive the care they need.
