The intensive, consistent schedule promotes a speedy recovery and reduces the time it takes patients to return home.
Transitional Rehabilitation and Services
Following surgery, significant injury or illness, patients want to return home to their normal routine. Following a hospital stay, patients are often not ready to return home to the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning and driving. To focus on recovery, many patients enter a short-term, inpatient therapy program. A thorough rehabilitation program helps:
- Provide concentrated healing time
- Offer specialized therapy regimes to support the healing
- Improve overall function and ability
- Increase strength, flexibility, and stamina
- Prevent patients from returning to the hospital
- Reduce the risk of further injury or complications
To meet these goals, we provide the following specialized services:
- Physical Therapy
