Our high-presence model for senior rehabilitation
We’re proud to offer acute care, with licensed therapists and registered nurses on-site seven days a week. These specialists understand the challenges of recovery for post-hospital care and other types of short-term rehabilitation. They’ll design a personalized treatment plan to offer you practice in the skills needed to return to your normal lifestyle and welcome routine.
Our rehabilitation center is a welcoming setting for short-term care, including treatment by licensed therapists for:
Physical therapy — Regain strength and balance, increase range of motion, help prevent falls, and decrease pain. Therapeutic exercises and activities are designed to help increase muscle function, balance, coordination, endurance and mobility.
Occupational therapy — Based on your needs and mobility, help to safely and independently perform instrumental activities of daily living, including cooking, bathing and dressing. Learn to adapt tasks and modify the environment to regain the ability to resume normal activities.
Speech therapy — Treatment plans address communication problems, comprehension skills, memory loss and swallowing difficulties while working to improve language, listening, thinking and safe eating practices.
Senior rehabilitation and therapy services are available to residents of Pomperaug Woods and other Southbury-area seniors who are recuperating from illness, injury or surgery as inpatients in our Health Center. Rehabilitation is payable on a month-to-month basis, with many stays paid for by insurance or Medicare.
Frequently asked questions about senior rehabilitation
Do I need to be a resident of Pomperaug Woods?
No. Our specialized senior rehabilitation and therapy services are open, on an inpatient basis, to local community individuals recovering from illness, injury or surgery through direct admission to our Health Center. We’re Medicare-certified, accept most major insurance providers, and will assist you and your family in guiding you through the administrative process.
How often will I receive therapy services?
Every person receives an individualized treatment plan, based on rehabilitation needs, physician orders and therapist recommendations. We’ll provide the most appropriate services as recommended by your therapy team after admission.
Is occupational therapy the same as physical therapy?
It’s similar in that it helps restore strength and mobility. However, occupational therapy focuses on helping people improve their ability to perform daily tasks by modifying the physical environment and using adaptive techniques and equipment to increase independence.
What will happen when I’m ready to return home?
Prior to your discharge, a plan will be developed that determines any equipment needs and in-home services you may require.
