Subacute Care & Rehabilitation

At The Harborage, subacute and rehabilitation care combines the high-tech resources of a hospital with the operation of a skilled nursing facility. We help residents overcome and adapt to physical and neurological challenges brought about by stroke, Parkinson’s disease, orthopedic injuries, chronic arthritis, and pulmonary conditions. Wound care services are also available for infections and vascular ulcers.

Our doctors, therapists, nurses and other health professionals work together in teams, assembled according to individual needs. We provide each resident with the most effective and efficient care possible, because our goal is to help them return home as quickly as possible.

And when residents are able to return home, our social services staff assists with the transition, including helping to make special arrangements and educating families on how to provide proper care.

Subacute Care includes:

• Rehabilitation services
  • Physical therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Speech therapy
• A supportive, encouraging environment
• State-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment
• Discharge planning for home care
• Education and training for families
• Assistance with insurance

It touches the lives of more than 80,000 residents a year in more than 23 states, entirely focused on clinical excellence and continuous staff development.
