Sterling Healthcare Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Special Programs & Services
Rehabilitation Program The rehabilitation program is led by a case manager who specializes in rehabilitation and physical medicine. The case manager has a interdisciplinary group of highly trained and motivated specialists to round out the team - physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, cognitive therapists, rehabilitation nurses, social workers, therapeutic recreational specialists and nutritionists.
All rehabilitation programs are individually tailored to ensure success. We strive for healthy outcomes. That means using every possible form of effective therapy to accelerate and maximize every resident’s rehabilitation potential.
Rehabilitation programs range from intensive one-on-one therapy sessions to group sessions. This includes a variety of support groups which allow residents the opportunity to learn more about their problems, share experiences with others, discuss concerns and build lasting friendships.
Intravenous and Central Line Program For some patients, intravenous antibiotic therapy is the most effective treatment for fighting infection. For those patients whose physicians have prescribed intravenous antibiotics as part of their healthcare program, an IV and Central Line program is offered which allows them to continue their therapy in the comfort of our facility.
Respiratory Care Program This facility offers a comprehensive Respiratory/Pulmonary care program led by a physician specializing in pulmonary medicine. Oxygen therapy, oxygen weaning, BIPAP and pulmonary reconditioning are all among the services available. The care team includes specially trained nurses, physicians and occupational therapists, who will assess, evaluate and develop a specialized plan of care for each patient.
