Delmar Nursing and Rehabilitation
Short Term Care
A Short-Term Stay
We agree with ruby-slippered Dorothy of Oz fame…there’s no place like home. But
sometimes illness or injury necessitates a brief stay for skilled nursing care or
therapy services before returning to independent living.
So how do we define a “short” stay?
At times a short stay encompasses a specific course of treatment; for example, a
2-week course of antibiotics or a month until weight bearing status is restored
after knee replacement surgery. Your specific length of stay will vary depending
on your unique goals and medical needs, so we make sure your plan of care and treatment
is just as individual as you are.
If you’re one of many people who need rehabilitation following hospitalization,
we provide a program designed especially with you in mind. Our clinical services
include:
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Specialty care for patients recovering from stroke, heart attack, fractures, surgeries,
and other illnesses, injuries and disabilities
- Wound care management
- Orthopedic care
As soon as you’re admitted, the discharge process begins to ensure that you not
only get all the care and therapy you need now, but that your transition home will
be smooth and successful.
Respite Care
Are you going out of town for the holidays or on summer vacation?
Do you need a
break but worry about the care, comfort, and safety of your loved one while you’re
away?
Respite care may be the answer!
Your loved one is admitted on a temporary
basis for round-the-clock nursing care, engaging activities and wholesome meals
and snacks. So whether you’re going out-of-town for several weeks, or just taking
a breather from the hectic pace of daily life, you can relax and enjoy a respite.
