Short Stay Rehab Bridging the Gap Between Hospital and Home
Rehabilitation therapy helps individuals recuperate, get strong and get back to everyday life. Our physical, occupational and speech therapists work with residents, families and medical teams to create a personalized care plan – and help restore independence as soon as possible. Short term rehabilitation often follows hospitalization after major surgery, injury or trauma caused by an accident or it might be required after an extended illness. We offer both inpatient and outpatient services.
