Resthaven Rehabilitation
Residential medical rehabilitation tailored to the needs of older adults
Our Goal is to get You Home!
Most of the time when you are recovering from injury, illness, or surgery, all you really want to do is to go home. Our goal is to get you there as quickly as possible.
Remember however, in the world of rehabilitative care, “Stay a little longer, get a little stronger,” holds a valuable core of truth. Our goal is to help you develop the strength and skill to confidently return to your life…and truly enjoy it. We urge you to take the necessary time to do just that.
We know that home is where your heart is. Nationally about 60-70% of those entering residential rehabilitation are able to go home. But with Resthaven Rehabilitation, you have an 80 to 85% chance of relaxing in the comfort of your favorite chair in your own home once again. We like those odds, and know you will too!
Resthaven Rehabilitation, The Program
It starts with extraordinary people! Remember, that as an organization with a Christian mission to honor our fathers and our mothers, those who work for your restoration often have a deep sense of calling to serve. They are very special people who are dedicated to your well-being…mind, body, and soul.
A Team Designed Just for You
You begin by developing goals for your recovery with the help of your Resthaven Rehabilitation nurse specialist, your personal physician, and an expert physician who specializes in the rehabilitation of older adults.
A customized plan to restore and renew your body, mind, and spirit is created based on your goals and preferences.
A special Resthaven Rehabilitation Team is assembled, unique to you, based entirely on your needs.
The core of the team will include a rehabilitative nurse, your care aides, professional therapists, a nutritionist, our Physiatrist (a medical doctor who specializes in rehabilitation), a Resident Life Specialist, a Social Worker, and your choice of a spiritual counselor. A wide variety of other therapists and treatments are brought into your team, depending on your personal needs.
Healing Your Body
- Our team works with you daily to help you reach your goals using innovative best practices from around the world. Our team is constantly in education in order to bring you the most pertinent therapies based on the best research.
- Your Resthaven Rehabilitation team meets several times each week under the direction of our physician Physiatrist to review your progress, explore opportunities for greater success, and to revise your plan of care as needed. This thoughtful collaboration has time and again proven to be the vital key to your recovery.
Caring for Your Mind
- You’ll get to know your Resthaven Rehabilitation Team, and they’ll get to know you. Fostering a strong, trusting relationship between you and those working to restore your health is vital to reaching your goals. The link between your mind and your body’s healing is undisputable.
- You will learn how to continue to build strength, how to manage any ongoing issues, what to do for prevention, and who to call if you’re in need of further assistance. It’s all about peace of mind.
Tending Your Spirit
A vital dose of encouragement is offered by committed staff members and by the 400+ generous volunteers who enrich the lives of all associated with Resthaven.
You’ll enjoy various activities and events as you choose. Perhaps you’ll visit the bird aviary, play a hand of Bridge with volunteers, attend a Bible study, or create something beautiful. There are a multitude of possibilities.
Our full-time Chaplain is charged with providing you the spiritual care that you need in order to heal. Although Resthaven is rooted in the Reformed and Christian Reformed Churches, our Chaplain has solid connections to spiritual leaders from many different religions and denominations, and will connect you, according to your wishes.
Homeward Bound
- When it is close to time for you to leave, we will work with you and your family to see that your home is properly equipped so that you can return safely and comfortably.
- We’ll ask you how we did. We are committed to continual improvement in all areas of the Resthaven Rehabilitation program. Your input, suggestions, and especially criticisms are absolutely crucial to building a program that grows better and stronger.
- You’ll be hearing from us as you settle in at home. A member of your Resthaven Rehabilitation Team will make a friendly check-back with you to be certain that your needs are met.
- We celebrate with you, your friends, and family as you heal!
