Rehabilitation Program and Complex Continuing Care

Inpatient Rehabilitation Program

Four inpatient rehabilitation beds are available to provide a transitional care program with a range of rehabilitation services.

The rehabilitation program at SHHA requires that clients can actively participate in and tolerate 30-60 minutes of therapy per day.
