Physician Coverage
We work with many different physicians so your care can be overseen by the Doctor you know and trust. If your Doctor is unable follow your care while you are in our skilled Medicare Rehabilitation Program we can recommend a doctor to manage your care until you go home.

Physical Therapy
After a careful evaluation, a plan of care is established to optimize movement, flexibility, balance, strengthening and muscle control to facilitate mobility and independence of each patient. We use rehab equipment, clinical procedures and measurable outcomes that help each patient make progress quickly.

Occupational Therapy
The goal of Occupational Therapy is for the patient to be independent in activities of daily living, things most of us take for granted, like bathing, dressing, eating and cooking. After assessing what a new patient can do and understanding what they need to be able to do independently in their home environment, a detailed plan of treatment is put in place for the patient to develop needed range of motion and upper body strength. The goal is functional independence and the highest degree of dignity.

Speech Therapy
Often our patients need help with communication or swallowing difficulties, especially after experiencing a stroke. Through retraining and the application of specialized clinical techniques, our Speech-Language Pathologists are able to optimize a patient’s most critical functions of living, communication and eating and swallowing food for nutrition.

Nutrition
We can accommodate specialty diets for many diagnoses. Our entire food program is under the review and management of a Registered Dietician. Food intake and nutritional assessments are completed on every patient and continuously monitored very closely. Good nutrition is the foundation of any quality rehabilitation program.

Skilled Nursing
Most of our Rehabilitation patients require skilled nursing care associated with their reason for coming to our Medicare Certified Rehabilitation Program. We provide 24 hour skilled nursing coverage to meet the unique needs of each individual patient each and every day. We operate at higher nursing to patient ratios then many surrounding nursing homes.

Social Work / Discharge Planning
Our Social Worker will work directly with you and your family member to facilitate an easy transfer from the hospital to our Rehabilitation Program and then from our program to home or a longer term stays with us. We can help coordinate many resources that will make the process much easier for you and your family member.
