Rehabilitation
Recovery from surgery such as a hip or knee replacement or a medical
event such as a stroke can move along much more quickly in a
rehabilitation setting. Nursing care combined with rehabilitation
services are best suited to ensure smooth transitions from hospital to
care facility and from care facility to home.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Our therapists are aware of the challenges residents face when they
begin a course of therapy to regain skills and abilities after
orthopedic replacement surgery. The days can be tiring and discouraging
at times. That’s why our therapists take a kind and steady approach to
motivate each resident to progress and recover as fully as possible
after an injury, medical event or surgery.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists treat residents with both firmness and
encouragement as they progress with the hard work needed to regain
strength and mobility after an illness or surgery. We develop an
individualized therapy plan for each rehab patient that respects the
individual challenges facing each patient, with a goal of ensuring a
smooth transition home.
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists focus on helping our residents eventually
manage as independently as they can the activities of daily living. We
work with our patients on the skills necessary for walking, bathing,
dressing, eating and other common household activities, again with a
goal of making the return home safe and comfortable.
Transitioning Home
Going home without a plan is like leaving town without a map! Prior to
discharge from rehabilitation, we conduct a home evaluation and assess
what needs to be done to help ensure that going home will include the
modifications and assistance necessary for a safe return.
