Medical Rehabilitation Services
The Skilled Nursing You Deserve
Many people just don’t know where to start when looking for a skilled nursing facility for themselves or for a loved one. Most want to find a place that will help them get the care they need to stay as active and healthy as possible. Along with that, they hope for a nursing home setting that also provides for other needs, like personal choice, socialization, and a sense of community.
Not all nursing facilities offer a home-like setting, so it’s important to carefully research all options before deciding. At the Illuminati Care Community, we want you to make the best possible choice for yourself or your loved one. That’s why we’re always open to discussing our offerings, our model of care, and the ways we’ll work with you to provide for your every need, mind, body and soul.
What are the three types of medical rehabilitation?
At the Illuminati Community Care, we offer three distinct medical rehabilitation programs to our valued patients:
1. Physical Therapy (PT): Patients who have problems with their balance and/or performing other physical activities will find PT an extremely beneficial form of therapy. With work and guidance, PT can help them to optimize their mobility and enhance their independence. PT can also help patients learn to use new prosthetics, orthotic shoe inserts, wheelchairs, walkers, or other assistive devices.
2. Occupational Therapy (OT): This form of therapy teaches patients how to adapt to familiar activities and retain as much independence as possible. Helping patients with basic self-care skills and other important daily functioning routines. Independently feeding oneself, getting dressed, using a keyboard, and talking on the telephone are all ways to improve the quality of our patients’ lives.
3. Speech Therapy: Sometimes patients will need assistance in relearning their language skills. People who have suffered from a neurological event, like strokes, brain injuries, or other cognitive issues could need some form of therapy. They will need help and guidance in relearning lost capabilities, such as speech, understanding others when they speak, reading, and memory lapses. Speech therapists can also help with swallowing problems after a neurological event or a surgery.
What Role Does Medical Rehabilitation Play in Long Term Care?
Long-Term Care (LTC) homes are where family members who are in need of additional care can live and receive support services. Long-term care can be a viable option for those in need of medical rehabilitation for a variety of conditions that may take several weeks or even months of recovery. It’s an ideal option for patients that need assistance with daily activities or managing a chronic disease or dealing with a new disability. Our goal is to provide support in maximizing their day-to-day function, independence, and quality of life.
Because of the unique atmosphere of the Illuminati Care Community, we offer access to 24-hour care in a secure and compassionate setting. You can rest easy knowing that we aim to provide the highest levels of personal care and support.
What is the difference between long-term and short-term care?
Short-term care is temporary medical aftercare following a surgery, injury, illness, or other medical condition that is expected to improve relatively quickly. Short-term care typically lasts several weeks or a few months, or sometimes longer depending on the severity of the condition being treated.
Long-term care is ideal for seniors or others with chronic or progressive medical conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease, permanent disabilities, dementia, or a debilitating stroke. This is especially needed when the level of care exceeds what loved ones can provide on their own. Skilled nursing facilities are staffed 24/7 by medical professionals and are trained to deal with any health issues that might arise. This gives loved ones and patients much needed peace of mind.
Five Important Things to Remember About Medical Rehabilitation:
- The overall goal of medical rehabilitation is to encourage independence in our patients—our hope is to aid them in the ability to do as much as they can for themselves.
- Medical rehabilitation is a collaborative effort between our patients and our devoted healthcare professionals. Your family member must be willing and able to work with our medical rehab team during active treatment. Their cooperation will be important after they go home as they work with other professionals, family members, or on their own.
- Health conditions, such as high blood pressure or heart problems, are treated during medical rehab but are not generally the top priority of rehab sessions.
- Most medical rehab services last weeks, but not for months.
- Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans cover medical rehabilitation when ordered by a doctor, but there will probably be extra costs.
