Let our family care for yours

Short-term rehabilitation provides therapy for individuals recovering from a surgery, illness or accident. Generally, those needing short-term, in-patient rehabilitation may remain involved in their program at one of our facilities for as little as a couple of days to several weeks.

Short-term rehabilitation programs help patients achieve their maximum functional capacity and get back to their homes and community in the shortest time possible. To achieve this goal, patients receive physical, occupational and speech therapy from our caring, highly skilled therapists. Therapists are part of a team that includes physicians, nurses, social workers and nutritionists, who work with each patient and family members to develop an individualized care plan.

Simply have your hospital team contact our placement coordinator at the Hurlbut™ Care Community of your choice or call yourself so we can answer questions or provide advice and counsel on what’s best for you or your family member.

Our Rehabilitation Services include:

• Occupational Therapy: focusing on improving a patient’s self-care independence by restoring functional skills and developing effective alternative strategies for people with mental, physical, emotional, or developmental impairments.
• Physical Therapy: working on improving a patient’s ability to move; reducing pain, and restoring posture, balance, range of motion and strength.
• Speech And Language Therapy: focusing on improving a patient’s communication, swallowing liquids/food textures and oral motor skills.

Upon admission, our team conducts a thorough physical and occupational therapy evaluation to determine specific rehabilitative needs. We may also perform a speech therapy evaluation to determine if speech, swallowing and language rehabilitation is necessary.
