What is short-term rehabilitation?

keyboard_arrow_down

Short-term rehabilitation provides therapy for individuals recovering from a surgery, illness or accident. Generally, those needing short-term, in-patient rehabilitation may remain involved in their program at one of our facilities for as little as a couple of days to several weeks.

Short-term rehabilitation programs help patients achieve their maximum functional capacity and get back to their homes and community in the shortest time possible. To achieve this goal, patients receive physical, occupational and speech therapy from our caring, highly skilled therapists. Therapists are part of a team that includes physicians, nurses, social workers and nutritionists, who work with each patient and family members to develop an individualized care plan.

If your loved one is in the hospital in need of short term rehabilitation, how does the admissions process work?
