Lee Health & Rehab Center Services & Capabilities… 276-546-4566
Posted on:
Selecting the right skilled nursing facility has never been more important for patients, physicians and discharge planners. With increasing pressure to control healthcare costs, hospital “length-of-stay” for medically complex and functionally impaired patients is steadily decreasing. As a result, the role of skilled nursing facilities is evolving from “long-term care,” to the management of higher acuity patients. That is why Lee Health & Rehab, along with Accelerated Care Plus have specialized treatment programs for the prevalent chronic and sub-acute conditions, with advanced therapist services necessary to help improve outcomes and get patients back home. For more information and tour our Rehab Department, contact Karen Mullins at 276-546-4566 or 276-639-0134.
