Short-term rehabilitation provides therapy for seniors recovering from surgery, illness, or accident. Generally, those needing short-term, in-patient rehabilitation may remain involved in their program at one of our facilities for as little as a couple of days to several weeks.
Short-term rehabilitation programs help senior patients achieve their maximum functional capacity and get back to their homes and community in the shortest time possible. To achieve this goal, patients receive physical, occupational, and speech therapy from our caring, highly skilled therapists. Therapists are part of a team that includes physicians, nurses, social workers, and nutritionists that work with patients and family members to develop an individualized care plan.
Simply have your hospital team contact our placement coordinator at the Hurlbut™ Care Community or call yourself so we can answer questions or provide advice and counsel on what’s best for you or your family member.

We may also perform a speech therapy evaluation to determine if speech, swallowing and language rehabilitation are necessary.
Unlike other rehabilitative facilities, The Bridge Care Suites treatment begins on the day of admission and can continue up to seven days a week or as determined by a patient’s treatment plan.
Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not able to allow visitation in the facility per directions from Public Health, Center for Disease Control (CDC) and CMS. We are scheduling appointments for outdoor visitation for 15 minutes each visit. Visitors must answer some screening questions prior to the visit as well as have their temperature taken and recorded. Masks must be worn and social distancing of at least 6 feet must be maintained.
Licensed Professional Nurses (LPNs) and Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) are scheduled for each patient care unit. Patient care, treatments, IV therapy, respiratory care, wound care, skilled observation and assessment and nutritional needs are addressed on a 24 hour basis.
