Steps to StrengthTM

Dedicated Short-Term Rehabilitation Services

Our Steps to Strength rehab and recovery program offers a tranquil setting for recovering and regaining strength following surgery or a hospital stay. Catering to active adults and those with chronic conditions recovering from acute illness, injury or surgery, East Longmeadow’s Steps to Strength program provides exceptional clinical care in a warm, nurturing setting.

Short-term rehabilitation at East Longmeadow is designed for personalized care, with just 32 beds in private and semi-private rooms. Because we have a certified dementia care unit, all of our staff are specially trained in caring for individuals living with memory impairment, providing compassionate, respectful care to assist patients in returning to their prior living situation.

The Comforts of Home

During your stay, we strive to provide the comforts of home, with tastefully furnished rooms and personalized attention to detail. Our dedicated short-term rehabilitation wing features a private entrance, spacious rooms, enhanced amenities, and relaxing common areas for a retreat-like experience.

Our dining team works closely with our dietitian and creates nutritious, flavorful meals, including special and modified diets as needed. Activities programming is available seven days a week for engagement, connection and involvement, and one-on-one time is offered for those unable to join group activities.

Working Toward Your Best Health

We start planning for discharge upon admission, creating personalized treatment plans that implement physician’s orders to meet personal goals. Our 24-hour skilled nursing teams provide the care and attention needed to maximize recovery, and a family meeting is held within 72 hours of admission to review expectations and address any concerns.

Our short-term rehabilitation services help individuals regain strength and ability.
