This team of specialists helps rehabilitate patients recovering from prolonged weaknesses, strokes, brain injuries, fractures, and joint surgery. Nursing assistants are available to patients who are unable to take care of certain daily activities for themselves. The personal care our nursing assistants provide includes such things as personal hygiene, bathing, ambulation, and as time permits, changing bed linens and preparing light meals. Social workers can be assigned to help patients deal with many of the personal problems that affect their medical condition.
Nutritional counselors provide evaluation and instruction regarding patients' dietary needs.
