Short-Term Rehabilitation

Specializing in rehabilitation services for post-operative recovery, joint replacement/fractures, hand injuries and surgeries, stroke/arthritis, amputations, generalized weakness and debilitation, Lutheran SeniorLife has been long recognized for its excellence in rehabilitation care.

St. John Specialty Care Center offers a specialized rehabilitation program in a newly remodeled, dedicated unit for individuals requiring services on a short-term basis. The newly updated unit provides both semi-private and private rooms and a dedicated therapy area. Individuals can relax in their own room equipped with a flat-screen television or visit with family members and friends in the cafe area or outdoor patio located on the unit.

The emphasis of our short-term rehabilitation program is to restore mobility and help regain the highest level of function and independence so that patients can return to their home or work. A treatment plan is established upon admission based on the goals for discharge (length of stay is generally two to four weeks). The individualized plan includes nursing services and rehabilitation therapy, including:

• Physical Therapy
