Short Term Rehabilitation 

HOME > Short Term Rehabilitation

Often times, after older adults have a hospital stay for surgery, stroke, or other illnesses, they are not ready to return home after being discharged. We offer rehabilitation support seven days a week by our in-house team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Our team works to rebuild the skills needed before returning home. 


Our inpatient rehabilitation program is tailored to meet the needs and capabilities of each patient and services are provided in our fully equipped sunlit gym overlooking the Jamaicaway. Treatment is designed to facilitate our residents' and patients' independence and promotes healing and the highest level of functioning.

  • Hip/knee replacement and shoulder repair
