Frequently Asked Questions
When you no longer require acute care at the hospital, many individuals continue their recovery in a skilled nursing facility where they receive post-acute medical care from licensed nurses and therapists such as physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy, all under the direction of your primary care physician, until you are able to return home.
After an illness, injury or surgery, short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation care are often necessary to prevent re-hospitalization or recurrence of your illness.
Most people choose skilled rehabilitation following discharge from an acute inpatient hospital stay. In fact, Rosedale Green has partnered with St. Elizabeth Hospital, St. Elizabeth Physicians and several insurance providers to admit individuals for a short-term stay directly from the hospital emergency room, if your condition is stable and does not require a hospital admission.
