FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Short-Term Rehabilitation
How is short-term rehabilitation different from long-term care?
Short-term rehabilitation is a focused, temporary stay to help you recover after surgery, a stroke, illness, or injury and return home. Long-term care is ongoing daily support for those who need it on a permanent basis.
Who is a good candidate for short-term rehabilitation?
Anyone leaving the hospital who needs therapy and skilled nursing before it is safe to go home, such as people recovering from surgery, a fall, a stroke, or a serious illness.
How long does recovery take after orthopedic surgery?
It varies by procedure and by person, but many orthopedic patients complete a focused course of therapy over a few weeks. Your care team sets goals with you and adjusts them as you progress.
Is inpatient cardiac rehabilitation necessary after heart surgery?
Not always, but a supervised inpatient program can be valuable after heart surgery. It rebuilds strength safely with clinical staff nearby before you continue recovering at home.
