Who Can Benefit From Short-Term Rehab?

Short-term rehabilitation on a WesleyLife or WellSpire campus is also open to those living outside of our communities. If you’ve had a joint replacement, are recovering from a stroke or other major health event or illness, our therapists can get you back on your feet and back to the things you love to do.

"The therapists and nurses were excellent — always vigilant and very kind. My dad came to trust them and feel a sense of comfort with them. They got him to do things we never would have been able to encourage him to do, and he was proud of himself! Rehabilitation with WesleyLife definitely impacted his life for the better."

"I want people to know that when you come here, you're not just coming to heal your body - you're also coming to feel better emotionally and be treated like part of a family. I can't tell you how special Hearthstone and the people here are to me now, and I won't hesitate to recommend it to everyone I know."

Hard Work Has Its Rewards

The reality of rehabilitation after a hospital stay is made a little easier at WesleyLife communities. Here, we treat our residents in short-term rehab to the same amenities, programming and delicious food as those residents in our senior living communities.

"I had been through a lot with my injuries and surgery, and it was nice to come here and get the help I needed to get back on my feet. The skills of the people who work here are top-notch, and the equipment is out of this world. I never could have done this on my own at home. Homes usually aren't equipped with a set-up like this, which is really like a gym with everything you could possibly need."
