Senior Rehabilitation Centers: Providing Quality Care & Support

An old age rehabilitation center is a place that elderly patients can call home on a short- or long-term basis. These centers assist elderly people in maintaining the highest possible level of functioning, so that they are able to continue living their lives.

Patients

• Old age rehabilitation centers provide patients with therapeutic services according to individualized treatment plans. People requiring the services of elderly rehabilitation centers often live alone and have difficulty providing self-care.

Services

• Some elderly rehabilitation centers contain individual suites with a bedroom, kitchen, living room and laundry area. Patients work with therapists and other providers to become closer to living an active life. Psychosocial intervention, activities and skilled nursing are some of the common features of elderly rehabilitation centers. Staff teams work in collaboration to create each patient's action plan.

Costs

• Costs depend on the services provided. Medicare, individual insurances and payment plans are used to cover costs, if accepted by the center.
