Types of seniors who benefit from short-term rehabilitation

You may need short-term rehab for many reasons. These facilities help people recover from major illnesses, surgeries, and injuries. Rehab provides therapies to help you regain function and strength. It also gives you access to multiple types of care providers all in one place. The ultimate goal of rehab is to get you back home.

The U.S. National Library of Medicine says short-term rehab may be right for:

• Stroke, brain injury, or other brain conditions
• Complex or major surgeries, such as joint replacement
• Traumatic injuries, such as fractures
• Serious infections
• Side effects caused by other medical care
