Apple Rehab Watertown

Apple Rehab Watertown is a skilled nursing facility with 110 beds that gives people short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care all under one roof, and the building itself feels more like a comfortable hotel than a hospital, with renovated rooms, flat screen TVs, electric beds, fine dining, and wireless internet, and they try to make the place feel like home for as long as people stay. The center has a strong focus on physical, occupational, and speech therapies, all offered seven days a week, and the rehabilitation gym has modern equipment and tools to help people recover after surgery, illness, or injury, like knee and hip replacements, strokes, cardiac events, or other serious problems. The staff includes nurses, social workers, dietitians, case managers, and certified nursing assistants, and they provide around-the-clock nursing care, daily trach maintenance, wound care, and specialized support for people with things like stroke, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and wounds, including pain management and LSVT therapy for Parkinson's. There's a special Short Term Rehabilitation Unit for recovery, a Sub Acute Care program for people with complex needs, and a Memory Care program in a safe, secure area for people struggling with memory loss, plus long-term beds for those who can't return home. Apple Rehab Watertown also offers respite care if a caregiver needs a break, hospice care for the end of life, and pet therapy to give people a little extra comfort. Outpatient therapy is available, too, if someone wants to come in for help but doesn't need to move in. People living here get personalized care plans, family and resident support groups, home safety checks before discharge, and spiritual services if wanted. The site is easy to get around in, with wheelchair access, parking, and restrooms for visitors, and you'll find a team that's trained to handle things like IVs, TPN, and complex breathing issues, plus consulting doctors on site, so that most of what folks need can be taken care of right there. Apple Rehab Watertown has been serving the area since 1994, and it's part of Connecticut's largest network of short-term rehabilitation centers, managed by Apple Health Care, Inc., which has a history of steady growth and recognition for their medical programs.
