About
Sub-acute care/short-term rehabilitation and long-term care/skilled medical and nursing care. More than thirty years ago, Parker Jewish Institute pioneered short-term rehabilitation for older adults. Today, the institute's unique restorative therapy program, reflecting the lifestyle desired by today's seniors, promotes independence and rapid return to home after rehabilitation from the broad range of surgical procedures, stroke, amputation, injuries and illness. The sub-acute rehabilitation program offers state-of-the-art rehabilitation and clinically complex care in a nurturing environment. Distinguished in patient care, research and teaching, the medical department includes primary care physicians as well as specialists and a complete roster of consultants. We offer favorable nurse to patient staffing ratios, and a nursing staff experienced in caring for complex medical and post-surgical needs that may include pneumonia, coronary bypass surgery, cardio-thoracic surgery, or vascular surgery. Specialized treatments have been developed to deal with tracheotomies, I.V. therapy, pain management, chemotherapy and wound care management. The stroke and neurological rehabilitation component of the program incorporates the most advanced techniques into individualized treatment plans that result in better outcomes and an earlier discharge to home. The interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams at Parker include physiatrists (physicians who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation), as well as physical, occupational and speech therapists, recreation therapists, nutritionists, and social workers. There is a fully equipped kitchen, bedroom and bathroom for re-training purposes. Staff also fit prosthetic devices, and train patients in the use of adaptive equipment. Additional patient care services available to sub-acute care/short term rehabilitation patients include: food service to meet special dietary needs, 24-hour laboratory services, 24-hour on-site pharmacy, chaplaincy service. Long-term care/skilled medical and nursing care. Long-term care at Parker emphasizes the importance of a caring environment and quality of life. The professional staff develops individualized care plans for each resident, and interdisciplinary teams regularly review progress.
