The intensive, consistent schedule promotes a speedy recovery; reducing the time it takes patients to return to the home. The typical transition period ranges from one to six weeks. For patients requiring a longer stay, special accommodations can be made.
TRANSITIONAL REHABILITATION AND SERVICES
Following a surgery, significant injury, or illness, patients are usually anxious to return home to their normal routine. However, patients are often not yet ready to return home to the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, and driving. To focus on recovery, many patients choose to enter a short-term, inpatient therapy program.
A thorough rehabilitation program:
- Provides concentrated healing time
- Offers specialized therapy regimes to support healing
- Improves overall function and ability
- Increases strength, flexibility, and stamina
- Prevents patients from returning to the hospital
- Reduces the risk of further injury or complications
To meet these goals, we provide the following specialized services:

SUPPORTED AMBULATION SYSTEM

The lift helps patients by:
