Plan of Care
After the initial evaluation, the rehab team will create a plan of care unique to the patient. The goal is for each patient to return to an optimal functional level and integration into home life.
We believe the family plays a vital role in the rehabilitation process. Therefore, family members will receive ongoing education on how to best care for his or her loved one during their stay and at discharge.
The length of stay is different for every patient and based on the patient’s individual needs.
After Discharge
We are please to offer additional opportunities for his or her recovery process.
