Rehabilitation
La Costa Glen's Health Center is Medicare-certified and has been awarded
their highest rating (5 stars) for excellence and care.
When a loved one is discharged from the hospital, families are often
unable to provide the demanding care that is required to help the loved
one fully recuperate. Patients recovering from a stroke, hip or knee
surgery, for example, can speed their recovery considerably when they
are in the short-term environment. They receive instruction and guidance
from rehabilitation professionals. Patients in the home setting are
less likely to participate as fully with therapy. They fare better in a
finely controlled environment.
Our short-term rehabilitation services can be the perfect answer.
Our therapists are not only the instructors but the patient's allies
and cheerleaders as well! Encouragement is the key. A kind word, a
caring touch on the arm, and a ready smile make the patient?s motivation
stronger on the road to recovery.
Highly skilled Physical, Occupational, and Speech therapists
provide rehabilitation to patients at GlenBrook through our close
association with RehabCare. Our speech therapists also work to improve
swallowing and cognitive deficits, which could be vital to the recovery
of stroke victims. Using a team approach with nursing and therapists at
GlenBrook allows more continuity of care from all perspectives. Patients
reap higher returns of recovery. Our staff recognizes that therapy is
often the key to vital health. Pain is managed prior to therapy,as well
as after. Staff work within the patient's time schedule as well.
Rehabilitative care, for those confined to the nursing community on a
long term basis, may be indicated to intensify one's quality of life. We
are here to stand beside, to help, and enhance the recuperation
process.
GlenBrook is Medicare certified and accepts PPO's, Medicare Fee
for Service plans, certain HMO contracts and private pays.
GlenBrook and GlenView serve the general public as well
as residents of La Costa Glen.
