Short Term Care at St. Jude’s
Short-term residences facilitate a supportive, helpful, and safe atmosphere for elderly patients who need rehabilitation between the hospital and home. We consider each of our residents and their loved ones a part of our extended family.
Our priority is their physical health, emotional well-being, and ability to thrive. Our short-term care offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Physical Therapy
When an older person experiences a stroke, fall, seizure, or another illness, they are often physically limited afterward. We provide certified therapists who assess each resident upon arrival. These therapists then work through exercise routines with each patient based on the initial assessment and day-to-day progress.
Occupational Therapy
Severe medical events often leave seniors unable to care for themselves post-hospital. In an effort to preserve their dignity, ease them back into a comfortable life, and afford them as much independence as possible, we offer our residents occupational therapy.
Speech therapy
Speech therapy is offered to residents who have suffered from a stroke or an illness that impacts their ability to speak or swallow. Our certified speech therapists work on oral exercises to enhance each patient’s vocal and verbal patterns. Some of the exercises are designed to strengthen or flex throat muscles as well. Our speech pathologists are on-site and ready to work with residents whenever necessary.
