Assisted Living Can Help after a Rehab Stay

If you, or a loved one, has had a medical setback, a hospital stay, and perhaps a stay at a nursing home or rehab center, BUT your discharge planner has advised that you shouldn’t return home, an assisted living stay could be your next best step in your healing journey.

Continued Rehab in an Assisted Living Setting

Congratulations, you’ve made progress in your therapy program! You can continue your rehab success in our assisted living community.

To get started, upon discharge from your SNF/rehab, your doctor will need to give orders to a Home Health Care company to visit you in your assisted living community and continue your therapy program. The Wellness Director at an assisted living community will work with you, the home health company and the assisted living center to continue your physical therapy program. 

Your stay can be a short-term respite stay until you fully return to your independent lifestyle, or you could become a permanent resident with all the care of the facility.

How Villa Assisted Living Can Support a Senior’s Independence

You’ve reached your milestones in therapy and have been permitted to discharge. However, you’re advised if you return home, you might struggle with daily tasks such as taking out the trash, going grocery shopping, and maintaining your weight by eating nutritional meals. Plus, if you no longer drive, you might be isolated at home.
