Today, as surgery patients are often discharged before they are completely ready to return home, post-surgery rehabilitation in a short-term rehabilitation center provides the ideal bridge between leaving the hospital and safely returning home. Many patients have discovered the advantages of post-hospital rehabilitation in a rehab center. The cost is reasonable, it is a more relaxed and comfortable environment, and a variety of services and amenities are offered.
Marilyn Kerr, R.N., Director of Nursing, Saunders House, says, “Today, joint surgery is a very common and increasingly popular procedure, especially among mature adults who seek to maintain active lives despite the unavoidable effects of time and wear and tear on the body. Fortunately, with appropriate pre-surgery planning and skilled post-procedure rehabilitation, people achieve major improvements in their comfort, function and lifestyle.”
