\n

Post acute rehab, as the name suggests, is a temporary living situation for patients who are just finished acute care. These patients have usually undergone a major surgical process or have otherwise suffered a medical crisis such as a heart attack. The goal of the post acute rehab is to provide an environment where the patient can continue to recover outside of the acute atmosphere of the <\/span>hospital <\/span><\/a>and before they are ready to go back home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why post acute rehab<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are several ways that a post acute rehab program can be enormously beneficial to a patient in recovery. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The patient has complete care when she\u2019s in a facility. Going straight home after hospitalization can be quite taxing on a patient, and full time care from a caregiver can be difficult to arrange and challenging for one person to accomplish. In a facility, the patient has a clean and comfortable room and bed and the dedicated care of a staff of well-trained nurses, 24\/7. In many cases the cost is covered by your insurance for some period of time, so it doesn\u2019t even cost the patient extra money.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The patient can receive the gamut of therapies he needs to help in the rehabilitation effort on an in-patient basis. Many facilities offer a large array of advanced therapies in addition to standard therapies of speech, physical and occupational. He doesn\u2019t have to schlep out to day care centers or appointments and still receives the highest level of care.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The patient can benefit from a multidisciplinary team of doctors and nurses. While the patient is recovering, he will be visited daily for many specialists who can all weigh in on his progress and offer recommendations for improvements. Each doctor has another angle to monitor the patient\u2019s care, and the team meets to coordinate best care practices for the patients quick and solid recovery. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The process of entering and exiting post acute rehab<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Hospitals have only so many beds, and they keep them open for patients who are exhibiting symptoms and need immediate care to get well. As soon as the patient is stable enough to leave, hospitals need to move them out to make space for new patients. The logical next step is a post acute rehab facility, and hospitals have natural alliances with facilities close by who can the next step needs of the patient. It\u2019s simple to register at a facility and make arrangements for medical transport services. The facility will do an intake of the patient\u2019s medical history to determine a care and treatment plan for the patient\u2019s stay that includes medical needs, therapies, and nutritional needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The daily regimen<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The morning begins with medication and dressing. The patient then has breakfast, and usually goes to occupational therapy. The doctors often make their rounds around then, and then the patient will return to his room for lunch and resting. The afternoon brings more therapy sessions, perhaps speech, and then there\u2019s dinner and relaxation time. Visitors may arrive, and the facility often offers fun activities for patients in a communal area.<\/span><\/p>\n
