Short Term Rehabilitation
The Lutheran Home of Southbury Rehabilitation Program is a personal one-on-one approach to helping people with memory loss to achieve their highest practicable physical abilities. Our therapists are employed by the Lutheran Home as opposed to being contracted from a rehabilitation company. All have received advanced training in memory loss techniques during rehabilitation.
Lutheran Home of Southbury provides an inter-disciplinary rehabilitation program, helping people regain strength and dexterity after illness, surgery, or trauma. Our small staff of caregivers provide personal service and develop a personal relationship with your loved one.
Rehabilitation services include:
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Therapy
- Community Re-Entry Support
Therapy expertise includes treatment for: orthopedic conditions, such as knee replacements, fractures, and chronic arthritis; neurological conditions, such as stroke; cardiac conditions, such as heart bypass surgery; pulmonary conditions, such as emphysema; diabetes; and post-operative recovery. All therapy programs are customized and developed in coordination with a resident’s doctor.
“I recovered more than I could have ever imagined!”
— Frances Zontok
Former Short-term Rehab Resident
In addition to therapeutic care, rehab residents receive personal and social support. Therapists, social worker, nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants provide comfort and reassurance. A comprehensive discharge plan is developed with residents and their families that enables individuals to continue to thrive once they return to the community. Community re-entry plans may include in-home services, such as home healthcare workers, as well as out-patient therapy and exercise programs.
The Lutheran Home of Southbury is a Medicare/Medicaid certified facility. Other insurance plans may be accepted with pre-authorization. Rooms at the Lutheran Home of Southbury may be reserved and therapy services may be arranged before a hospital stay.
