Prior to a resident’s discharge from our facility, our rehabilitative professionals make sure they’re ready for the challenges involved with returning home or to an alternate level of care. In addition to outlining personalized exercise plans and guidelines for safely performing daily routines, our therapists will make sure each patient can manage stairs and other obstacles related to returning home. Our social workers may arrange for wheelchair assistance or other assistive devices, and our nutritionists may go over dietary issues that could impact a full recovery. If applicable, our nurses will provide information on wound care and medication management. All this will ensure that once they leave our facility, residents will be adequately prepared to resume optimal functionality and independence.

For those recovering from heart disease and/or cardiac-related surgery, our cardiac rehabilitation program can help them achieve optimum recovery and health. Goals include limiting the physical effects of cardiac illness and improving overall cardiovascular fitness.

Our individualized programs are designed, supervised and executed by a team of specialists that may include:

• Physicians
• Nurses
• Therapists
• Nutritional consultants
• Mental health professionals

Furthermore, we educate all staff members to be vigilant regarding changes in our cardiac patients’ condition, which has proven to be an effective step in reducing re-hospitalizations.
