REHABILITATION
SHORT TERM REHABILITATION
Our Short Term Rehabilitation (STR) unit assists patients in making the transition from acute care in a hospital to home. The goal of STR is to provide physical, occupational and speech therapies along with with psycho-social support to patients too frail to go home after a medical illness in a hospital. There is a wide breadth of medical conditions that are cared for at Eger, but some common diagnoses include cardiac failure, COPD, complex post-operative patients, post joint replacements, infections complications including pneumonia, systemic failure such as renal failure and all causes of dementia and neurologic impairments such as Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis. The goal is to get patients well enough to return to their home community and continue their rehabilitative process at home.
