Rehabilitation

Physical therapy in skilled nursing focuses on improving movement, strength, balance, endurance, coordination, and functional mobility.

Physical therapists develop individualized treatment programs based on each patient’s abilities and recovery goals.

Physical therapy may help individuals who are recovering from:

• Joint replacement surgery

• Hip fractures

• Falls

• Stroke

• Cardiac events

• Extended hospitalization

• General weakness and deconditioning

• Neurological conditions

• Orthopedic injuries

• Difficulty walking or transferring

• Loss of balance or mobility

Therapy may include gait training, balance exercises, strengthening, transfer training, range-of-motion exercises, mobility training, and fall-prevention strategies.

The goal is simple: help each resident regain as much safe independence as possible.

Occupational therapy in skilled nursing helps residents improve or relearn the skills needed to complete everyday activities safely and independently.

Occupational therapists may work with residents on:

• Dressing

• Bathing

• Grooming

• Toileting

• Eating

• Upper-body strength

• Coordination

• Fine motor skills

• Functional transfers

• Adaptive equipment

• Energy conservation

• Cognitive strategies

• Home-safety skills

For residents preparing to return home, occupational therapy can be an important part of determining what assistance, equipment, or modifications may be needed for a successful transition.

Leaving the hospital does not always mean recovery is complete.

For patients who still require nursing care or therapy, a skilled nursing rehabilitation facility can provide an important transition between an acute-care hospital and home.

Magnolia Nursing and Rehabilitation works with hospitals, physicians, case managers, discharge planners, residents, and families to help coordinate a smooth transition.

We care for individuals recovering from conditions such as:

• Joint replacement

• Orthopedic surgery

• Stroke

• Cardiac illness

• Pneumonia and respiratory illness

• Falls and fractures

• General weakness

• Extended hospitalization

• Wounds

• Chronic medical conditions

• Functional decline

From admission through discharge planning, our team works toward each resident’s individual recovery goals.
