Inpatient Rehab & Skilled Nursing
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Upon discharge from an acute hospital stay, some patients require further medical care to help them maximize their level of functioning, making them potentially eligible for the Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation program. Hendry Regional Medical Centers, Inpatient Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing program helps patients achieve this goal through its hospital-based provision of skilled nursing care and inpatient rehabilitation services. Our program provides rehabilitation and recovery services based on the patient’s individual needs.
