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
