Apple Rehab Guilford sits at 10 Boston Post Rd in Guilford, Connecticut, and offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care for people who need help after an illness, surgery, injury, stroke, or for those with chronic conditions who can't live at home anymore, and they've got 90 certified beds, a dedicated Short Term Rehabilitation Unit, and a subacute care program for people with complex needs who need skilled attention like IV services or even tracheostomy care, which is pretty important for people with serious medical setups. The staff covers a mix of professionals including dietitians, case managers, social workers, nursing assistants, spiritual support, therapy specialists, 24-hour licensed nurses, consulting physicians, and dedicated teams like a Therapeutic Recreation Director and an on-site Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. There are lots of therapy options, like physical, occupational, speech, and specialty therapies, with programs for memory retention, cognitive skills, mobility retraining, balance, swallowing evaluations, and even unique services like Kinesiotaping, Myofascial Release, pet therapy, and care for residents with dementia.
People staying there get amenities like flat screen TVs, telephones, electric beds, wireless internet, fine dining, and beautifully renovated rooms, plus restrooms, vending machines, Wi-Fi access, smoking areas, and parking lots with customer truck, overnight, and secured parking. The rehab gym's pretty large and has advanced therapy equipment and options, and they pay attention to family and resident needs with educational and support groups, home safety evaluations, and thorough discharge planning. Visitors can bring pets and parking's well lit. Shipments, even hazmat or tanker loads, get planned and monitored, with proper dock bays, unloading support, forklifts, and security gates-trucks have to follow set length and weight limits, and scheduling for drop-offs and late arrivals is managed with clear policies. Apple Rehab Guilford's management, guided by Ryan Vess since 2013, operates under Brian Foley's full ownership, and Dr. Elin L Christensen leads the team that creates specialized, innovative care plans aimed at helping people regain independence and return to preferred daily activities.
