Recommendations might include installing assistive equipment, such as grab bars, railings, and ramps.

Your treatment and length of stay will vary depending on your illness, injury, or medical condition. Monday through Friday your days will be busy, but we are here to support you every step of the way so you can achieve your goals, feel better, and return home.

The morning will begin with support from nursing so you can get ready for your first of two to three therapy sessions for the day. In between therapy sessions, you are encouraged to rest and participate in recreational offerings when interested and able. You will appreciate a variety of menu options presented to you each day. Snacks are also available 24/7, so when you're hungry, please let us know.

Start outpatient physical therapy within 48 hours Monday-Friday. Do you feel like you are losing strength? Are you worried about falling? Are your normal activities painful? Recover in your home while benefiting from our physical therapists. Whether your condition is acute or chronic, take control of your health by taking advantage of our specialized physical therapy, including speech and occupational therapy. We will take the lead checking your insurance benefits and contacting your doctor.
