Inpatient Rehabilitation Care

Through our inpatient rehabilitation services, we provide for the special needs of patients requiring 24 hour skilled nursing care combined with physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Services include treatment for orthopedic patients who have undergone total joint replacements or orthopedic surgeries for reconstruction, as well as patients with other diagnosis such as neurological disorders, strokes, or dementia. Not only do our services target the long-term care patient, but also the patient requiring inpatient rehabilitation care on a short-term basis, to prepare for a return home.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Care

Through our outpatient rehabilitation services, we provide physical, occupational, and speech therapies for both adult and pediatric patients. Our adult outpatient therapy program provides traditional therapy for recovery from diagnosis such as knee or hand surgery, lower back and neck pain, muscular deficiency, cognitive deficits, or swallowing disorders.
