When examining health care options, are you aware of the
different programs and services available? Have you heard of sub-acute
rehabilitation services?
What is sub-acute
rehabilitation?
Cadbury’s Health Care Center Administrator Brian Klocke explains sub-acute rehabilitation services as “the
bridge between the hospital and the return home.”
Sub-acute rehabilitation services encompass several hours of
physical therapy per week. Residents stay in a skilled nursing facility until
their therapy goals are met, and then they return home.
People can enter sub-acute rehabilitation programs for a
number of reasons. Some people enter rehabilitation after having a prolonged
hospital stay for issues such as a fall at home with injury, strokes, or
cardiac events, and need rehabilitation to live independently again. Others
choose to enter sub-acute rehabilitation to continue living independently, such
as receiving therapy following elective surgical procedures such as joint
replacement.
On average, people stay in the sub-acute rehabilitation
program for about three weeks.
What does Cadbury at
Cherry Hill offer for sub-acute rehabilitation?
Cadbury has immediate openings in their Healthcare Center
for those who need additional time to gain strength before returning home.
The services Cadbury provides for sub-acute rehabilitation
include physical, occupational, and speech therapy and skilled nursing care
seven days a week.
Cadbury has offered sub-acute rehabilitation services for
more than 15 years and has helped thousands of people return to their homes in
the community or to a lesser level of care such as assisted living programs.
“We return about 200 to 250 people back to their homes
safely through our sub acute program each year” Klocke said.
