Short-Stay Rehabilitation
We help our guests “get back to life” after an injury, surgery or stroke with our state-of-the-art Rehabilitation Center, highly qualified therapists and knowledgeable, caring staff. Our interdisciplinary staff collaborates closely with attending physicians from New York Columbia Presbyterian and Montefiore Hospitals to ensure that we are providing our patients the highest level of care.
Our Rehabilitation Center
The Methodist Home’s 2,000 square foot Rehabilitation Center is the cornerstone of our post acute rehabilitation program. We offer 40 private rooms with full bathrooms for our short-term guests. Plus, patients work with our staff in our “Activities of Daily Living Suite” to promote confidence in getting back to their normal routines once they return home.

Post Acute and Subacute Care
We specialize in post acute and subacute skilled nursing care such as orthopedic and joint replacement rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation, stroke recovery program, and more. Our staff works diligently to create an integrated rehabilitation program that is personalized to each of our short-term rehabilitation residents.
If your loved one needs additional care after hospitalization to continue recovery and receive occupational, physical and speech/dysphagia therapy, our skilled nursing team will help them regain strength and ease their transition back home.
Treatment goals may include:
- Walking and/or climbing stairs independently
- Standing up (using the latest equipment for orthopedic and neurological conditions)
- Preventing falls (with advanced balance training)
- Managing daily routines such as bathing and dressing
- Transfer techniques such as getting in and out of bed (or the car)
- Regaining strength and endurance overall.
- Improving speech and swallowing functions
We call the discharge process “Care Coordination” because our team of social workers expertly coordinate care of residents when they return home to prevent re-hospitalization.
Services include:
- Setting up home care services and/or outpatient therapy
- Ordering necessary durable medical equipment
- Providing a community resource directory
- Scheduling follow-up appointments and ordering medications
- Weekly follow-up calls for one month to ensure that all services, medication and equipment are in place
