Levels of Rehabilitation
Skilled
Our Staff of licensed therapists is available up to six days a week to meet the needs of our short-term and sub-acute patients.
The team is involved in a comprehensive discharge plan which includes family conferences and home assessment to ensure a safe
transition to home. Medicare and some insurances cover payment for this type of therapy, however goals and outcomes are closely
monitored.
Restorative
Very often our long term care residents are unable to tolerate a fast paced therapy program, but may have potential to improve
function. Under the supervision of the licensed therapist and nurses, restorative aides provide less intensive rehabilitative
services.
