Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation
After a major health event such as a surgery, stroke or fall, a more extensive level of care is often needed before safely returning home. In addition to comprehensive medical care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation at a Carespring community helps patients regain mobility and independence with services that include physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.
Short Term and Post Hospitalization Rehabilitation
If you or a loved one has recently had surgery or experienced a health setback, taking the right steps to begin the healing and recovery process is vital.
Carespring transitional care bridges the gap between hospital and home, helping you regain strength, mobility and independence and get back on your feet. Our communities provide personalized care plans and a multi-disciplinary approach that includes a team of physicians, nurses, therapists, dietitians and social workers. It’s everything you need to focus on getting better faster and getting home sooner — so you can return to the life you love.
Treatment plans typically include:
- Physical therapy to increase strength, mobility and range of motion
- Occupational therapy to help with daily activities like bathing, dressing and cooking
- Speech therapy to help improve speech, comprehension and swallowing after a health event like a stroke
- Cognitive rehabilitation to help improve memory, planning and other mental functions
- Tools and equipment assistance to help with movement and functional tasks, such as learning to use mobility aids and bathroom safety products
- Comprehensive nursing care to administer and oversee medications and provide specialty services such as wound care and IV therapies
- And more

Respite Care
If you’re the primary caregiver for a loved one, you know how important it is to reduce stress and avoid burnout by giving yourself a break. Let our short-term respite caregivers take care of your loved one while you reset, recharge and rest easy knowing that they’re comfortable and cared for.
Our caregivers, including nurses and state-tested nursing assistants, can provide medical and medication oversight while ensuring that your loved one gets all the care they need. Respite care is available in our nursing care centers and in our assisted living communities.
Hospice Care
Comfort, dignity and a sense of peace are imperative for those with terminal illnesses. At Carespring, we work collaboratively with hospice providers to ensure our residents are surrounded by kindness and compassion in a calming, familiar setting. In addition to providing pain and symptom management and emotional and spiritual support for a loved one, we also focus on supporting families with guidance and empathy.
Our hospice care includes comfortable rooms and services like all meals, 24-hour nursing care with pain and symptom management, housekeeping, and family education. Fees vary based on room, services and level of care, as do payment options — including Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and private pay.
Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation FAQs
While assisted living offers help with daily activities like bathing and dressing, skilled nursing provides a higher level of medical care often needed after hospitalization or surgery. Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are staffed with registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, therapists and physicians to manage complex health needs.
Services often include:
- 24/7 nursing care
- Physical, occupational and speech therapy
- Medication management
- Nutritional support
- Social services and discharge planning
Medicare Part A covers SNF care only under specific conditions:
- A qualifying hospital stay of at least three consecutive days
- Admission to the SNF within 30 days of hospital discharge
- A physician-certified need for daily skilled care
- Care related to the condition treated during the hospital stay
Medicare pays in full for the first 20 days. From days 21 to 100, the patient must pay a daily coinsurance amount. After 100 days, Medicare coverage ends.
If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan your benefits should be similar. Contact the location of your choice to discuss specific plans.
