Post COVID-19 Rehabilitation at the Methodist Home
Though some people recover from coronavirus without complications, others are experiencing post-COVID syndrome after the infection has passed. Common symptoms that these patients struggle with are fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, weakness, and dizziness.
As part of our post-COVID-19 rehab program, we work with each individual patient to address their recovery needs. Our onsite physical therapy team works with patients in post virus recovery to build endurance, strength, lung function, and more. For patients with additional lung recovery needs, we also have a Respiratory Care Program.
Our Rehabilitation Center
The rehabilitation center at the Methodist Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation serves the New York City area by specializing in post-acute and short-term care. In addition to therapy sessions and nursing care, patients of our facility enjoy the privacy and safety of their own private room and bathroom during their stay with us, as well as delicious meals prepared by our chefs.
