ur
Homeward Bound Rehab & Sub-Acute Unit provides the care needed by patients
discharged from a hospital but not yet ready to take complete care of themselves.
Here, they receive medical and skilled nursing care along with physical and
occupational therapy, audiological services, speech therapy and more.
Our Homeward Bound Unit assists patients recovering from orthopedic
surgery, such as knee or hip replacement, as well as those recovering from
strokes and other neurological disorders. The unit provides post-surgical
care, wound care, pain management, and IV therapy along with nutritional counseling
and restorative rehabilitation.
Our Homeward Bound Unit has the most advanced therapeutic
equipment designed to speed patient recovery. A computerized Cervical/Lumbar
Unit helps to relieve radiating pain caused by compression of the discs of
the spine. A Tilt Table aids patients whose blood pressure level falls too
quickly when sitting or standing. A Continuous Passive Motion Machine (CPM)
helps patients increase the range of movement in a knee after total knee replacement.
For stroke patients, a Biofeedback Unit helps patients regain
movement
and strength through visual and auditory stimulus. Another unit, resembling
an ordinary PC, is a computerized Biometric Unit that helps a patients increase
arm and hand movement and strength through specially created "computer
games."
A functional kitchen, complete with cabinets, stove, sink, washer and dryer, and refrigerator enables occupational therapists to teach wheelchair-bound and stroke patients how to function at home.
Patients
in the Homeward Bound Unit are completely sep
arated
from the skilled nursing portion of the facility. They reside in tastefully
decorated private and semi-private carpeted rooms equipped with telephone,
cable television, individually controlled air conditioning and hookup for
computers. Homeward Bound patients are served meals in the Homeward Bound
Dining Room.
Medicare covers physician ordered therapy at Homeward Bound for a period up
to 100 days.
