Whether in the hospital for three days or two weeks, whether with pneumonia or a hip fracture, any time we’re off our feet our bodies lose strength and muscle causing us to become deconditioned. Our team will come up with a plan unique to your needs to work towards regaining your previous level of function and safely returning to the community.

Your experience will vary dependent on the services you require. The goals of your recovery will dictate the activities you participate in daily. Physical therapy and occupational therapy is done on the unit for the convenience of our residents. The unit is staffed with nurses and aides all day, every day to meet the needs of our residents during recovery.

Our short-term rehabilitation unit is tailored to the needs of our short-term residents. All rooms are either private or semi-private and are fully furnished. You will be able to wear your own clothes. Gracedale also offers Wi-Fi if you would like to bring in a laptop or tablet.

Gracedale participates with Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurances, Department of Veterans Affairs coverage, workers compensation, and automobile accident claims. Our admissions department can answer any questions you have regarding insurance coverage.

Out of pocket expenses vary based on insurance, level of coverage, and Medicaid eligibility. While we are here to assist all our residents we also encourage everyone to contact their insurance provider for an understanding of their coverage and benefits.

Every resident’s progress and outcomes are unique. Gracedale and our physicians want to ensure everyone is given an opportunity to reach their rehabilitation goals. Factors influencing how long insurance covers your rehab stay include: level of participation, previous level of function, and progress toward goals. Our average short-term stay is about four to six weeks.
