Restoring function and independence lost to injury, illness, surgery, stroke or other medical events is one of the chief goals of short term rehab and restorative nursing. To achieve this goal, you will work with a multidisciplinary team of rehabilitation professionals to first identify your individual therapy and treatment needs, then address those needs via a personalized treatment plan. That treatment plan will be intensive.
You can expect to spend a minimum of three hours a day with therapists – physical, occupational and/or speech therapists, according to your individual needs – along with individualized medical care and monitoring, pain and medication management, and restorative nursing care. This comprehensive treatment, therapy and care works to help ensure steady progress toward your recovery and rehabilitation goals.
Care delivery is tightly-coordinated to ensure care quality and efficiency – a collaborative effort from all members of that team, including the patients themselves – and progress towards recovery and rehabilitation goals is regularly evaluated to ensure that treatment remains effective and focused on achieving the best possible patient outcomes in the shortest possible times.
