Rehabilitation programs in long-term care facilities have evolved in response to shorter hospital stays.  In the past, patients simply stayed at a hospital until they were well enough to return home without needing too much assistance.  Today, however, because hospital stays are expensive, insurance companies are not paying for stays that are any longer than medically necessary- and many people aren’t strong enough to return home after their discharge.

Most people come to Zumbrota Health Services for short-term rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery, such as joint replacement or back surgery.  Others come for rehabilitation following a stroke, pneumonia,  a spinal cord injury, or an accident.

In Physical Therapy, the goal is to reduce pain, increase strength and mobility. The goal of Occupational Therapy is to increase independence in any activity of daily life, such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, a favorite hobby, or working at a job.  Speech Therapy not only addresses communication, but also swallowing and cognitive abilities.

For short-term rehabilitation patients at Zumbrota Health Services, the goal is to return them to home as soon as possible and be able to perform as many activities of daily living as they can.  For long-term Zumbrota Health Services residents, rehabilitation services offer relief from pain, better mobility, and recovery from disabling conditions such as heart attach or stroke.
