Pacific Coast Manor is proud to present our Homeward Bound Program focusing on short
term rehabilitation. We have a separate, distinct unit in our facility with
Neurological, Respiratory, Physical and Orthopedic based programs. Our therapy
team is made up of physical, occupational, speech therapists and restorative

the specific needs of the individual with treatment times varying from thirty
minutes to three hours on a daily basis up to seven days per week.
