Transitioning from

Short Term Rehabilitation to Long Term Care

After completing their restorative therapy program, many people are able to safely move back home. We are here to help with discharge planning to promote a smooth transition back to the community. We also provide recommendations and information should home care services be required.

Those who need to continue to receive 24-hour skilled nursing care can transition to a long term care stay at The Maplewood. In this situation, your care plan will continue to include assessments, evaluations and maintenance therapy, as appropriate throughout your stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is short term rehabilitation in a skilled nursing facility?

Short term rehabilitation is a temporary stay — typically a few weeks — focused on regaining strength and independence after a hospital stay, surgery, illness or injury. At The Maplewood, rehab patients receive 24 hour skilled nursing care plus appropriate physical, occupational and/or speech therapy in a dedicated therapy center. During their stay, patients stay in a private suite and enjoy Maplewood amenities including restaurant-style dining and room service, recreation activities and events, and much more.

Which rehabilitation therapies are available?

Maplewood provides physical, occupational and speech-language therapy. The therapies each person receives are dependent on need and based on an assessment to determine which services are appropriate. Physical therapy focuses on mobility, strength, balance and range of motion. Occupational therapy addresses daily tasks such as dressing and bathing. Speech therapy addresses difficulty with speech and communicating as well as swallowing. If appropriate, your rehabilitation plan will include a walking program, which is coordinated with your nursing staff and the therapists.

Does Medicare cover rehab after a hospital stay?

Each patient’s situation is different so it’s best to check with your Medicare insurance plan about coverage. Costs are typically different for traditional Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage plans.

How often will I receive therapy?

Your therapy plan is based on each person’s rehabilitation needs and goals. The attending physician and therapy team will complete an evaluation and create a personalized therapy plan for you. This plan includes services to be received and how often. The therapy team is happy to go over your plan and schedule with you.

What happens outside scheduled therapy sessions?

While you are not in therapy sessions, you can enjoy all the amenities offered at Maplewood. You can relax in your private suite, enjoy a meal in the dining room or order room service, participate in an activity or event, or visit the hair salon. You will receive a monthly calendar showing daily activities and recreation staff will check in with you to see if you there are any events you would like to attend.

Will I have a private room, and what should I bring?

Yes. All resident rooms at Maplewood are private suites including rehabilitation patient rooms. We suggest packing clothing for about one week. Maplewood provides laundry services and fresh linens. Choose clothing that is comfortable and that you can move in when doing your therapy. Be sure to bring a pair of sneakers or supportive non-slip shoes for using the exercise equipment. In addition, bring glasses/hearing aids, phone and charger, and a list of medications. You room includes a TV with DIRECTV and free WiFi. While we provide some essential toiletries, feel free to bring your own toiletry items with you if you have preferred brands. Please leave all valuables at home.

How long will my rehabilitation stay last?

There is no single length of stay that fits everyone. Most short term rehab stays run from about one to four weeks, depending on the diagnosis, therapy goals, progress and discharge arrangements. The Maplewood’s care team works with patients and family members to set goals at admission and adjusts the discharge plan as you progress. Maplewood provides discharge planning and information about home care when needed.

What qualifies a patient for skilled nursing care during rehabilitation?

Each case is different and it’s best to discuss your case with your doctor. Typically, a patient qualifies when a physician certifies the need for daily skilled services — such as wound care, complex medication management, or physical/occupational/speech therapy — that can only be provided safely in a skilled nursing facility. In New York, a PRI/SCREEN assessment documents this need before admission.

What happens if I still need nursing care and can’t go home after rehab?

Maplewood offers long-term care for people who continue to need 24-hour skilled nursing after completing their rehabilitation. The team can discuss whether it is appropriate to transition you to long term care and review the next steps with you. If you can return home, our team works with you on discharge planning and home-care recommendations.

Can I choose which rehab facility the hospital sends me to?

Yes. Patients have the right to choose their skilled nursing facility at hospital discharge. Tell your hospital discharge planner you’d like The Maplewood in Webster NY. Our admissions team coordinates directly with Rochester-area hospitals. Because beds fill quickly, naming a first and second choice early helps.

How do we arrange for a rehabilitation admission at Maplewood and check insurance coverage?

Contact Maplewood’s admissions team at (585) 872-1800 to discuss the care needed after hospitalization and discuss coverage and other admission information. You can tell your hospital discharge planner that Maplewood is your facility of choice. Being admitted to Maplewood will be dependent on your care needs and room availability.
