Short-Term Senior Care and Senior Rehabilitation in Bismarck, ND
Returning to the life you love starts here.
When surgery, illness or injury keeps you from doing the things you enjoy, senior rehabilitation services at our Benedictine living community in Bismarck, ND, can help speed your recovery. Inpatient short-term rehabilitation helps individuals recovering from complex medical issues such as stroke or traumatic injury who need 24-hour care in a fully equipped senior rehabilitation center.
There are many rehabilitation options throughout the region, but few can compare to Benedictine’s clinical expertise, service, compassionate care, and treatment outcomes. We differentiate by having an in-house therapy team, which allows you to get to know your therapists, and allows them to work in collaboration with other team members and your physician, to ensure the right treatment plan works for you. U.S. News and World Reports ranks Benedictine Bismarck as being above average in areas of rehab staffing, and patients returning home as compared to our peers (out of more than 15,000 nationwide).
For those who are recovering from surgery or injury and are able to live at home, we offer outpatient therapy sessions in our senior rehabilitation centers. In either case, the goal of our professional, caring staff is to help the individual recover independence, move confidently, communicate effectively, and manage activities of daily life with little to no assistance.

- Physical therapy for seniors
