Post-Acute Rehabilitation

Your Passport Home

Our rehabilitation team is committed to returning our guests to their safest possible level of independent functioning. We understand that every person under our care has distinct requirements for therapy. 

Rehabilitation is tailored to a series of realistic, short-term achievements based on getting our guests home. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy services are available seven days per week, as needed and prescribed by a physician. 

Our Passport™ approach combines customized therapy services with our standards of care, both of which are directed by an interdisciplinary team, including licensed therapists and clinicians, with one goal in mind: to help guests return home safely.

Our Short-Term Care Services

While working through physical or post-operative challenges, guests enjoy customized therapy in comfortable and finely appointed accommodations. We handle all of the “paperwork” for our guests and their surgeons by working with Medicare and insurance carriers, so there’s one less thing to worry about. 

Additionally, National invests in the highest clinical oversight—pairing Nurse Practitioners (NPs) with technology—because we recognize that everyone benefits when our patients receive the best care.

Our Impact

“Belair should be the example for the rest of the facilities to follow…Their open door policy, cleanliness, and smiling faces make Belair such an amazing facility. They far surpass the highest level of quality care!”

“After a series of bad experiences at two other rehabs, I ended up back in the hospital on a ventilator. This time I went to The Pines at Glens Falls for their Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, and I’m glad I did! I always looked forward to going to the therapy gym because the therapists make working out fun. The staff professionalism is the best I’ve ever seen and makes me want to pack them all up and bring them home with me when I leave tomorrow. I would recommend The Pines to anyone!”

“I am grateful for the team I have met in Kennebunk Rehabilitation. They care and serve with skill and kindness, along with an ease-filled heart in each interaction. They are striving for a 5, and I see that in each step, word, and action I have witnessed and experienced with the collective staff thus far.”

“Please don’t be fooled by brand new buildings, fancy furniture, and modern lobbies in some facilities. Brentwood may not be new and fancy, but they truly care and deliver excellent service! The staff is well trained in memory care… and the recreation team is active and engaging and really has a lot of fun. I highly recommend Brentwood, and I am glad we found them. They are a special group of people.”

“I am so thankful that when I went to the hospital in June that a bed was available at Riverside. Everyone is friendly, the place is clean, and they give great attention to patients. They truly show care and concern for your comfort and all of your needs. I love the way they work as a team. If you buzz and your nurse or aide is busy, someone else will jump in to assist you. Each of you has made my stay perfect and not being able to go straight home from the hospital less stressful. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.”
