How Short-Term Rehab Can Provide Long-Term Health Solutions

Not all stays in skilled nursing facilities are long-term situations.

Sometimes, all that’s needed are a few days or weeks under professional medical supervision and guidance to get you back on the road to recovery from an illness, surgery or accident.

Embassy Healthcare communities in Ohio provide a variety of short-term services as part of its skilled nursing care offerings. In addition to those in recovery situations, this type of care may be ideal for individuals in the process of transitioning to an extended care environment.

What Does Short-Term Care Involve?

Temporary care is very goal-oriented, with staff working to get the patient back to their homes or normal state of life as soon as possible. These rehabilitation programs may include physical, occupational and speech therapy elements. Therapists work with the patient’s doctor, nurses, nutritionists, and other staff members to form a customized care plan.

Therapists can help patients with:

• Flexibility
• Balance
• Strength
• Pain management
• Daily tasks (getting dressed, bathing, grooming)
• Wound care

Embassy short-term rehab services are provided in private suites and in spacious rehab gyms. Our amenities also include a full-function kitchen for practicing daily living activities, as well as ultrasound, electrical stimulation and paraffin wax services.

Trained professionals not only help individuals with these skills while in short-term care, but they can also provide them with techniques to be more independent once they get home or to their more long-term living environment.
