Rae-Ann Westlake: Stroke Rehabilitation

Our Stroke Rehabilitation offers stroke victims intensive, personalized rehabilitation in the crucial time period following hospitalization. Housed in a separate wing of Rae-Ann Westlake, the Stroke Rehabilitation features tastefully decorated and spacious private rooms, bright and inviting common areas for visiting with loved ones, and a private dining room with a menu specially tailored to stroke patients.

Our focus is on rehabilitation and prevention of a recurrent stroke. With a neurologist on staff, residents do not have to leave the facility for follow-up care. Our experienced nurses and personal care aides are specially trained in the intricacies of post-stroke care. Physical therapists use special exercises, equipment and techniques to help residents achieve the highest functioning level obtainable. Occupational therapists work to teach activities of daily living. Speech therapists assess and treat problems with speech, language, swallowing, hearing, memory and attention deficit disorder.

Working as a team, our experts are devoted to crafting an individualized care plan to help each resident achieve maximum recovery and independence.
