Marshfield Clinic Comfort And Recovery - Eau Claire

Marshfield Clinic Comfort And Recovery - Eau Claire works through a partnership between Marshfield Clinic and Grace Lutheran Communities, aiming to help people recover after surgery or illness and get home safely, so what you've got here is a health-focused setting that's more like a bridge from the hospital back to regular life, and since the facility sits right beside the Ambulatory Surgery Center, there's an easy move from surgery to recovery without much hassle, and folks usually stay between three and five days, which helps people improve at a steady, comfortable pace. The building's got 12 private suites, each one with its own private bathroom and shower, so no one has to share, and every suite has a sleeper sofa so family can stay over, along with a spot to eat right there in the room, plus a work area with fast wireless internet and air-conditioning so it feels like a more normal place during recovery. Patients and their families can gather in a lounge area, and there's an onsite bistro with a chef who makes the meals, letting patients eat well and socialize if they want to, though folks can also have their meals right in their rooms if rest is needed. As people start to feel better, physical therapy can begin right in the facility, along with skilled nursing care and close supervision from doctors, nurses, and certified staff-all ready to treat a range of medical needs from movement problems and sleep troubles to heart, neurological, and respiratory issues, and folks can get diagnostic tests like EKGs, EEGs, and EMGs without leaving the building. Caregivers can also use the respite care service to take a break while their loved ones are helped here, and the staff helps with daily needs, medicine, meals, cleaning, laundry, and transportation to appointments, and for safety every room and hall has controlled access with protection against wandering, so it's safe for people who get confused or have medical disabilities. The medical team includes over 40 experienced doctors, some who specialize in things like nephrology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine, and brain and nerve recovery, with doctors like Dr. Shana Vifian Ray, Dr. Kambiz Farbakhsh, Mr. Gary Gasser, and Dr. Somsak Tanawattanacharoen on the team, and there are visits from specialists and quick access to the larger Marshfield Medical Center system for consults, urgent needs, or special tests. The facility keeps things comfortable with simple furnishings, cable, phones, and wifi, and the pharmacy, onsite parking, and walking paths make life easier. There are walk-in care and telehealth appointments, along with weekend and evening hours from 09:00 to 21:00, so help's available every day. The broader Marshfield Clinic system supports the facility with research, new treatments, cancer prevention programs, and special clinics for rural and agricultural health, so services reach beyond basic rest and recovery. It's a place focused on getting people back on their feet, staying safe, and feeling at home while getting professional care.
