Short-term Care
Short-term Rehab

In the Short-term rehabilitation wing, our licensed, professional staff encourages continuing recovery and seeks to restore quality and independence to daily living. Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy is provided to clients on an inpatient as well as an outpatient basis. Using state-of-the-art equipment, our physical, occupational and speech therapists work one-on-one with each client, to provide a comprehensive program of rehabilitation.

An important part of the rehabilitation wing is an Activities of Daily Living apartment. In this facility, clients can gain practice in skills such as cooking, bathing, and transferring in and out of bed, in a realistic home-like setting.

Our program offers comprehensive short-term care for patients following a brief hospital stay or in place of hospitalization. From reliable on-site case management to expert nursing, to innovative rehabilitation techniques, our goal is to maximize functional abilities and have the patient safely return to the community at their highest level of independence.

The strength of our Short-term Rehab is our interdisciplinary team of  Physicians, APRNs - advance practice registered nurses, social workers, dietitians, and rehabilitation therapists. Through a patient-centered approach, the team works with patients and their families to coordinate each patient's clinical course and treatment plan.

  • Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy
  • Post-surgical Care

Following discharge, further support services may be provided by the staff of the Avery Home Health Agency, Outpatient Rehabilitation, or Avery's Betty Larus Adult Day Health Center.
