    Trends in Short-Term Recovery

    Key trends in short-term recovery programs.

    In recent years, rehabilitation centers, assisted living communities, and long-term nursing care facilities have made enormous strides. Rather than cold, lonely places to be avoided, they've become homey, welcoming centers in which to heal and connect with people who may be going through a similar recovery process.

    Even short-term recovery programs offer a home away from home with professional caregivers and a variety of amenities. Recovering from a stroke, heart attack, or orthopedic surgery comes with its own set of challenges, and today's short-term recovery centers are committed to making it as easy as possible for you. 

    There are four key trends in short-term recovery programs that we are embracing at Church Home to the benefit of our residents.

    Emphasis on Person-Centered Care

    With person-centered care, each individual is treated as such. There is no "one size fits all" approach to rehabilitation, and we keep that in mind with everything from exercise and therapy programs to meal choices. Our goal is to help you recover as thoroughly and efficiently as possible, and that process is different for everyone. We want to find what works best for you, and to adapt that plan as your rehabilitation progresses.

    You are more than your medical challenges: you are a human being with complex emotions, specific likes and dislikes, and certain strengths and weaknesses. By getting to know you, we can more effectively address your recovery needs.

    Service-Oriented Atmosphere

    Truly, the rehabilitation center is more like a resort! We offer state-of-the-art facilities and private rooms with private bathrooms. The dining team is led by an experienced chef, and every meal is prepared with your nutritional needs—and your taste buds!—in mind. Nutritious food helps promote the healing process, but we haven't lost sight of the fact that food should be enjoyable, too.

    We want your stay with us to be as pleasant as possible, and our compassionate staff are committed to fulfilling your needs.

    It comes down to this: How can we help you? What would make you more comfortable?

    Home-Like Environment

    You'll notice something wonderful as you come up the driveway: your new rehabilitation center feels like home, not like a hospital. The peaceful outdoor setting is reflected inside, as well, with tasteful decor, pleasant lighting, big windows (revealing that calming view!), personal touches, and comfortable furniture.

    You may be here to recover from a medical event or condition, but the day-to-day experience is far from "medical": instead, it's inviting, warm, inclusive, and enjoyable. Between your scheduled therapy and medical appointments, you'll have time to relax, socialize with new friends, and participate in hobbies you enjoy. Your family and friends are welcome to visit any time. 

    Collaboration with the Medical Team

    We're always in close contact with your medical team to ensure your therapy and treatments are precise and on-course; we carefully fulfill their instructions. If you progress more quickly than expected, or if you need a little extra time, your plan gets adjusted to meet your needs. We take our role in this team seriously and communicate regularly with your doctors and therapists.

    Church Home is proud to be leading the way in short-term recovery. It's easy to see how these trends in nursing and caregiving are creating a promising future for all rehabilitation residents: they create a nurturing environment where skilled, experienced staff members enjoy the process of helping each and every resident achieve the greatest possible outcome. Meanwhile, residents feel valued, cared for, and empowered to pursue their own recovery.
