What is a Rehabilitation & Post Hospitalisation care?

When a senior member in your family gets discharged from the hospital after undergoing treatment for a serious injury or a complicated medical condition, they need rehabilitation. You have options of choosing between a nursing home, a rehab centre, rehab services offered at home or an Assisted Living community centre where rehab services are offered for elderly people. A senior rehab centre offers services such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy in order to reduce pain and improve functionality.

Why Assisted Living for Rehabilitation?

Assisted Living has the benefit of 24-hour assistance from staff to support the services of home health professionals and nursing care that are available in an Assisted Living set-up. It may be a good option since they also help with bathing, dressing and grooming along with healthy meals and a positive atmosphere. Residents get the advantage of short-term or long-term rehabilitation therapy at an Assisted Living community. Seniors undergoing rehab here feel calm and secure with an assurance that someone is available round the clock for immediate response to emergencies or any assistance, which gives them peace of mind and helps in faster recovery.

Are there options for short-term and long-term Rehab Care?

Those recovering from a serious injury, complex illness or a major surgery may need rehabilitation for a longer period of time and staying at an Assisted Living facility may be a good option, which provides round-the-clock care with continuous monitoring. Professional therapists provide daily physical, occupational and speech therapy as required. Healthy meals prescribed by dieticians are given and exercises combined with social activities as well as counselling services are available that make it a holistic experience.

Those who need rehabilitation services for a short duration may opt for respite stay at an Assisted Living facility. This would benefit people who have completed rehab and still need some guidance and assistance before they can confidently go back home.

What are the benefits of Rehab care for seniors at an Assisted Living facility?

The rehab services offered at an Assisted Living facility focusses on recuperating in a cozy and caring environment after days of hospital stay during the treatment process.
