We provide therapies that allow for our residents to improve their quality of life and continue to enjoy their activities of interest.

Homeward Bound Program
Our Homeward Bound programs restore individuals to their highest level of independent functioning by providing quality rehabilitation therapy equipment and services. We use most of the same equipment that is used on professional athletes.

Transitional Care Unit
Catered Manor Nursing Center’s rehab unit offers their patients 2 private transitional care units. These apartment suites resemble their own living environment. Patients can test the strength and stamina of their newly regained skills. We have found it much safer for patients to discover problem areas before leaving us, rather than when they are home alone. Family members can also stay with the patient to test their readiness to provide help upon discharge.

Pre-Registration for Rehabilitation
We are pleased to offer pre-registration for our rehabilitation services. You plan for an elective surgery, so why not pre-plan your recovery afterwards? Our pre-registration process is simple, includes a free in-home assessment (optional), and a workbook to guide you through pre-operative planning and post-operative recovery.
