Servicios Integrados De Rehabilitacion (Siro)

Servicios Integrados De Rehabilitacion (Siro) in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, cares for adults and seniors who need help getting back their independence after hospital stays or surgery, and they've got a long list of services like skilled nursing, personal care, and a wide range of therapies such as physical, speech, recreational, and occupational therapy with nurses, registered nurses, and therapy aides on hand around the clock, so there's always someone there if residents need help with medicine, hygiene, transfers, ambulation, feeding, or dressing, and they take special care with things like feeding tubes, tracheotomies, colostomies, ulcers, and wound care, plus they manage pain, diabetes, dehydration, and handle most daily health needs including changing dressings, giving medicines in different ways, and keeping an eye on vital signs. The facility offers both inpatient and outpatient rehab, and they're one of the few places that can help people recovering from more complex or difficult conditions like strokes, heart surgeries, neurodegenerative diseases, orthopedic injuries, and even recovery from things like aesthetic surgeries, so people can get a comfortable room, meals, WiFi, cable TV, and staff nearby to help at any time, making it a good spot for both short stays and longer care, though the total beds are just 20, with a mix of rooms you can pick from and nursing hours that are higher than most places. Siro's got a medical team that includes a physiatrist who comes up with rehab plans and makes decisions about when someone can go home, and there are general practitioners, dieticians, pharmacists, social workers, and feeding assistants on the team too, with social work staff helping folks get community help and equipment when they leave. Most of the care focuses on adults and seniors, but kids and youth can come in for things like therapy if they need it. The place is a five-star Medicare-certified facility with an overall A grade, ranked as one of the top three nursing homes in Puerto Rico and it won best nursing home in Puerto Rico for three years running, but even good places can have their issues, and Siro's seen about 14 deficiencies in inspections like getting food from the right places, keeping everything clean and safe, and sending paperwork on time, which isn't perfect but they're still running with managers and owners all listed and accountable, including Carolina Diaz and Paola Marty, with a for-profit corporation behind the operation. Siro doesn't take Medicaid, but they do accept Medicare and they've got special therapies and treatments you don't see everywhere, including care after things like mamoplasty or abdominoplasty, and they offer things like laser, ultrasound, EMG studies, and more for rehab. All in all, residents get a steady routine, help regaining skills, and safety measures for the building and food, so it's a place with a lot going on, and staff really do spend a good deal of time right there by the residents each day.
