Specialized Subacute Care and Short Term Rehabilitation »
Specialized Subacute Care and Short Term Rehabilitation
Our highly trained nursing staff offers medically complex care and subacute services such as IV therapy, wound care, peritoneal dialysis and tracheostomy care.
The spacious new state-of-the-art rehabilitation center at Forest Hills Care Center offers physical, occupational and speech therapy for residents recovering from an accident, injury or illness. Our rehabilitation center features a full-size activities-of-daily-living kitchen and bathtub for transfer training. The goal of our rehabilitative team is to offer each resident the opportunity for regained strength, mobility and independence. Many of our short term patients return home after a relatively short length-of-stay.
Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Wellness
Under the supervision of our cardiologist, our specialized
cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation team offers care to patients
following cardiac surgery, heart attack, angina, or other
complications of heart disease. Our goal is to
improve/maintain cardiopulmonary functioning and endurance, decrease
deconditioning of prolonged immobility and regain strength through
exercise. In addition, our program provides extensive patient
education regarding risk factors and and lifestyle, as well as
medication management. Rehabilitation enhances the well-being
and confidence of the patient, preparing them for a successful
return home.
Enhancing Quality of Life
Dining at Forest Hills Care Center is an enjoyable experience as
healthy and nutritious meals are served in our beautiful dining room
adorned with elegant chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows
overlooking our outdoor terrace and patio.
Our staff dietitian carefully plans an individualized menu for each resident based on
their food preferences and medical condition.
Our creative and innovative activities staff offers residents a wide range of educational, social, recreational and cultural programs. Residents enjoy arts and crafts, music programs, poetry readings, pet therapy, intergenerational visits, tai chi and computer classes and many trips out into the community. We want residents to continue to pursue former talents and discover new interests.
