Benefit from Our Unique Setting
We've designed the Rehabilitation Center with your comfort in mind. Our rooms are soothing and bright, each complete with a telephone, television, and bathroom. Family and friends can visit with you in your room, in our spacious family room, or in our dining room during meal times.
When it comes to accessing specialized services, you'll never have to worry. We are located on a dedicated floor within St. Joseph Hospital, so diagnostic, x-ray and other imaging services are just an elevator ride away. Dialysis is also available at the Center.
Benefits that Follow You Home
From the day of admission, "going home" is the number one goal for patients, their families, and staff. A case manager, working with you and your family, will determine your needs upon discharge, and arrange for any community services that might be necessary to meet those needs. The team takes into consideration nursing care, vocational concerns, social and economic needs, housing, financial assistance, and safety. The variety of community services available includes everything from Adult Day Care Programs to Meals on Wheels. Before you leave, decisions about continuing therapy and services are made and coordinated by the rehabilitation team to be sure returning home is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Family conferences and home visits are available to assist with a discharge plan if needed.
Benefit from Our Strengths
Recovering from a disabling injury or illness can shake the strongest of foundations.
Now you can take strength from our expertise, a supportive nurturing environment and the fact that a majority of our patients return home to an independent and fulfilling life. We provide specialized rehabilitation nursing care, case management, and comprehensive physical, occupational, speech/language, and recreational therapy. Our goal is to assist you in increasing your strength and maximizing your independence, function, and safety. Our affiliation with Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston ensures that you'll receive care that measures up to the standards of a nationally renowned rehabilitation teaching hospital. You'll benefit from having the best of both worlds: the strength, creativity, and resources of a major rehabilitation teaching hospital, and the family-centered, easily accessible environment of a community hospital. Our rehabilitative programs and therapies meet quality standards in collaboration with Spaulding, the only rehabilitation hospital in New England ranked among the nation's best by U.S. News & World Report.
