Rehabilitation Support
Many individuals suffer major accidents, unexpected onset of new health crises, and elective surgeries that require ongoing rehabilitation support.
Common situations necessitating ongoing rehabilitation support:
- Elective surgery for joint replacement
- Sudden onset of a major event such as stroke, heart attack, or respiratory failure
- Infection involving prolonged antibiotics and overall deconditioning
- Falls with injuries such as concussion, brain injury, fractures, or spinal cord injuries
- Multiple medical co-morbidities resulting in prolonged hospitalization
- Frailty due to chronic illnesses
- Traumatic injuries such as a fall from a ladder or car accident
Individuals and their families dealing with these situations are often overwhelmed. They seek assistance in creating a plan that makes sense.

- How will I get to my physician and rehabilitation appointments?
- Who will oversee my mom’s or dad’s care, given that I live at a distance?
