Senior Rehabilitation Centers

After being hospitalized seniors are often prescribed a stay at an inpatient rehabilitation facility to help them get back on their feet. While the focus of their stay is rehabilitation, the services provided by a skilled nursing facility are not limited to therapy.

When a loved one needs to go to a skilled nursing facility for rehabilitation following a surgery or procedure, it is important for family members to know how to handle the transition, the therapeutic services available, and the discharge criteria.

A broken hip, hip injury or hip replacement in the elderly can be very painful and problematic. Both occupational therapy and physical therapy services will likely be necessary to reduce pain, maximize mobility and improve quality of life.

Inpatient rehabilitation may be necessary when an elderly parent suffers a serious falls, hip injury, stroke or other health condition. Inpatient physical rehabilitation centers are well equipped to conduct various therapies within a residential setting.
