Solterra Rehabilitation/ Transitional Care

Transitional Care refers to our rehabilitative services that follow a hospital stay for an illness or injury. It is designed to expedite the healing process in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Teams–including concierge, physician, nurse, physical, occupational, and speech therapists–care for  guests, enabling them to return home as quickly as possible. In addition to the rehabilitation services, teams of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and a physician address acute illnesses such as recovery from stroke, heart attack, injury and the exacerbation of chronic illnesses that must be stabilized before returning home.
