In subacute rehabilitation, patients in need of a short-term inpatient stay can find the care they need for many conditions. Before your stay though, it is important to do your research in order to choose the best subacute rehab facility for you and your needs. While this may be daunting to some, there are a few key areas to look into when making your decision.
1. Experience
With so many subacute rehab facilities to choose from, it is important to learn the level of experience the rehabilitation staff has. Ideally, the average years of experience should be more than five years. Therapists at the subacute rehab facility should also have varied clinical experience.
As part of GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center’s subacute rehab department, the physical therapists and rehabilitation experts have a variety of experience and expertise. This includes orthopedic, neurologic, cardiac, vestibular, women’s health, and aquatic. Each therapist and rehabilitation expert also has five years of experience or more, including some with over 20 years’ experience.
2. Individualized Program
There are a variety of conditions and situations for a person to be looking into subacute rehab services. No matter what you’re looking into subacute rehab for, though, everyone’s recovery journey is different, with different objectives to achieve. That is why it is important to have a personalized care plan with set goals.
At GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center, treatment programs are designed specifically for the individual using the latest evidence-based research. The subacute rehab team works with each patient’s physician(s) to ensure that your needs are met completely and your doctor’s recommendations are followed exactly.
3. Services Offered
You will especially want to make sure that the facility is able to take care of your specific needs. Make sure that the facility you are looking into has experience treating people with the same condition that is prompting your search. Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy should all be offered. In addition to those, see if the facility offers specialized services, such as aquatic therapy. Another benefit to a subacute rehab facility would be if the facility also offers outpatient rehabilitation. Working with the same therapy team as part of your outpatient therapy allows for a continuity of care, which makes the transition much easier on yourself.

They also include wound care, cardiac rehabilitation, palliative care, hospital avoidance, neurologic & stroke rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, pulmonary rehabilitation, prosthetic/orthotic rehabilitation, deconditioning, chronic disease, and aquatic therapy.

4. Staff and Facility Quality
Seeing the subacute rehab facility in person is very helpful in choosing what subacute rehab facility is best for you. A clean, appealing facility with friendly, helpful staff is ideal and will allow you to feel comfortable in your stay. Visiting the facility will give you insight to the staff-to-patient ratio, as well as who comprises their subacute rehab team.
