Frequently Asked Questions
How do physical, occupational and speech therapies differ?
Each therapy discipline plays a distinct role in recovery. Physical therapy focuses on rebuilding strength, improving balance and restoring mobility.

Speech therapy addresses communication challenges and may also support cognitive function and safe swallowing. Together, these therapies work to restore independence and confidence.

This team collaborates with you and your family to develop a personalized plan, monitor progress and prepare for a successful return home.
When is short-term inpatient rehabilitation recommended?
Short-term inpatient rehabilitation may be appropriate after a major surgery, serious illness, injury or hospitalization when additional medical oversight and intensive therapy are needed before returning home. Your physician will determine whether a short-term stay in a skilled setting will best support your recovery and safety.
Does Medicare cover inpatient rehabilitation?

Coverage details and out-of-pocket costs vary based on individual circumstances and supplemental insurance. Our team can help review your benefits and explain what to expect.
When is outpatient rehabilitation appropriate?
Outpatient therapy may be recommended if you are able to live safely at home but still need continued therapy to improve strength, mobility, communication or daily functioning. Your physician can help determine whether outpatient services are the right next step in your recovery journey.
Is outpatient rehabilitation covered by Medicare?
