“When can I go home?” is often the first question a person asks after a surgery or hospitalization. This can be a difficult question to answer, especially when the best option is a rehabilitation center first, to gain around-the-clock professional care and therapy.
A rehabilitation or therapy center will offer what is often called post-acute or transitional care. This is skilled nursing care and/or physical, speech and occupational therapies provided by experts trained in helping people recover and resume living as they had prior to a surgery, illness or other incident.
At Maine Veterans’ Homes, we offer inpatient rehab and therapies specifically for veterans at five of our locations. Our Bangor home also provides outpatient services for Veterans.
Our team of skilled professionals includes certified physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, physical therapy assistants, occupational therapy assistants and rehabilitation aides. They work with you and your doctors to develop a customized treatment plan focused on your needs for recovery.
Along with individualized skilled instruction and support, we also provide family training and education to help the people closest to you help support your recovery.
