Getting back to living life to the fullest
What is more important to the quality of life than the ability to function independently? At the Methodist Home, the ultimate goal of rehabilitation is to help each patient restore safe and independent functional skills to the fullest extent possible to meet the needs of self care, daily life and leisure at home and in the community.

Patients participating in occupational therapy relearn activities of daily living, including energy conservation techniques and basic homemaking skills. Our “Home Suite” is complete with an actual bathroom, tub, bedroom and kitchen so patients can restore function within an environment similar to the one to which they will be returning. The Center is also specifically equipped to address the unique needs of those with impairments in hand function.

Wide-ranging services
Methodist Home rehabilitation clients may be affected by disease or injury, and may need therapy to restore movement, strength, coordination, balance and endurance.

To achieve individual goals, the rehabilitation team works closely with a medical interdisciplinary team to create a comprehensive evaluation that results in a customized care plan. Patient care is overseen by the Director of Rehabilitation Services, as well as a physiatrist, each of whom specialize in geriatric programs. In general, early intervention leads to the most successful restoration of function.

The Methodist Home specializes in short-term (subacute) rehabilitation. Long-term geriatric care is offered as well.

All services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, GHI, HealthFirst, WellCare, Cigna, Great West Healthcare, MagnaCare, Montefiore CMO, No-fault, and Worker's Compensation. We also accept private pay.
