Stroke Rehabilitation at the Methodist Home
Here at the Methodist Home for Nursing and Rehabilitation, our 2,000-square-foot rehabilitation center is in the process of being renovated and expanded. We specialize in post-acute and short-term care in the New York City area, and we have a special program for patients needing stroke rehabilitation services.
Our stroke rehabilitation program provides rehabilitation services guided by a physiatrist. Neurology consultations are performed as needed, and weekly interdisciplinary reviews all departments involved in each patient’s care.
All patients of our facility enjoy the safety and privacy of their own private room and bathroom.
