Why Rehabilitative Care?

At Ernest Health, we know that inpatient rehabilitative care is significant to a patient’s healing process.

Patients who receive rehabilitative services often experience positive results in regaining or improving productivity and independence. For example, a recent national study shows that patients treated in inpatient rehabilitation facilities have better long-term results than those treated in skilled nursing facilities. The study, which was commissioned by the ARA Research institute, shows that patients treated in rehabilitation hospitals live longer, have less hospital and ER visits, and remain longer in their homes without additional outpatient services.

These patients:

  1. Returned home from their initial stay two weeks earlier
  2. Remained home nearly two months longer
