ManorCare Palm Harbor held a
groundbreaking ceremony in August for The Rehabilitation Center, a
more than half-million dollar addition to the existing Transitional
Care Unit. The new Center will include a 3,355 square foot
rehabilitation gym and will accommodate state of the art
rehabilitation equipment.
Increasingly, the place for people
recovering from accidents or illnesses isn't the hospital.
Advancing medical technology and changing insurance practices have
created a need for an alternative to acute care and acute
rehabilitation hospitals. A few days after treatment, most patients
do not need operating rooms or acute level of care, however they
still need high quality medical care and rehabilitation.
ManorCare's Transitional Care Unit
(Rehabilitation Unit) combines complex medical care and aggressive
physical rehabilitation in one setting. The clinical expertise of
physicians, nurses and therapists works to prepare patients and
families to manage care needs upon discharge.
ManorCare Palm Harbor is part of HCR Manor
Care, a leading owner and operator of long-term care centers in the
U.S.
