Post-acute rehabilitation is a vital component in the recovery journey for patients transitioning from hospital care to home or a lower level of care. The journey towards recovery can often feel daunting, but with a dedicated skilled nursing team and therapists, you are not alone. Skilled Nursing Rehab programs are designed to be compassionate and personalized, ensuring that every patient can progress at their own pace.

Skilled Nursing Rehab facilities offer targeted rehabilitation interventions that focus on improving functional outcomes, whether it’s regaining strength, enhancing mobility, or rebuilding confidence in daily activities. The clinical team works closely with each patient to develop customized therapy plans, ensuring that every step taken is aligned with personal goals. We believe that rehabilitation is not a one-size-fits-all process; it requires a tailored approach that respects the individual needs and preferences of each patient.

Inpatient therapy is more than just a treatment; it’s a pathway to reclaiming independence and improving overall quality of life. Therapists utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques and innovative methods to maximize rehabilitation outcomes. From manual therapy and strength training to advanced modalities, our team employs evidence-based practices to help patients regain their strength and functionality.

Post-acute care services can bridge the gap between hospital care and returning home by providing ongoing medical monitoring, medication management, wound care, and therapy services. The goal is to facilitate a smooth transition back to daily activities, enabling patients to reclaim their independence with confidence.

Benefits of receiving post-acute rehabilitation services:

Continuity of Care: The care and treatments you received during an acute hospital stay are carried over to the post-acute setting. This allows for medical treatment to be carried over to the post-acute setting which allows for a coordinated approach to healing.

Assistance with ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living): ADL’s encompass essential self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and toileting. Depending on the individual’s needs, post-acute care services can provide trained caregivers who offer assistance and support with these activities. This assistance ensures that patients can maintain their dignity, independence, and overall quality of life while receiving the necessary care and support.

Person-Centered Treatment Plan: You receive an individualized treatment plan based on your abilities and needs. While some individuals may only start out with one to two hours of daily therapy, others can achieve up to three hours daily. As mentioned earlier, one size does not fit all.

Nursing Care: Skilled Nursing Rehab Facilities provide 24-hours nursing care. Nursing assists with daily activities: administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and ensuring patient comfort and safety. They speak daily with the physician and monitor any changes in conditions.

Care Plan and Discharge Planning: Each individual in a skilled nursing rehab facility is assigned a team of professionals. This team meets with the patient and family to discuss goals, progress and discharge planning. Dedicated discharge planners are available to assist each patient with a smooth transition back into the community once they have completed their rehab program. Resources are arranged on behalf of the patient to ensure success.
