Of all types of patient centered therapy and post-acute rehabilitation, the nursing home therapist has arguably the most optimal platform for helping patients to restore strength and achieve prior level of functioning.

In fact, therapists in in-patient postacute rehab and skilled nursing centers are uniquely positioned to provide the kind of robust therapy required for a patient to hopefully regain his/her independence.

The admission to a sub-acute care center for in-patient rehabilitation typically follows on the heels of an acute admission to a hospital and a 3 night Medicare qualifying in-patient hospital stay. This is the second stage in an evolving road to recovery for the patient and is an indication that the patient has now stabilized sufficiently to allow for an aggressive and pro-active therapy regimen.

The particular treatment plan is tailor made to accommodate the needs of the individual patient and will often incorporate a combination of all 3 therapy disciplines (physical, speech and occupational therapy).

Prior to the patient’s safe return to home and as part of the discharge planning, the therapist will also prepare the patient and family with the pertinent information and education to allow for a seamless transition back into their old environment.

This education will include things like pivoting and transferring techniques, sit-to stand exercises, using stairs and using adaptive equipment.
