More Pathways Success Stories!
Did you know that Vandalia Rehab & Health Care Center not only provides quality long-term care, but also features Pathways, our Rehab-to-Home program? Pathways offers physical, occupational and speech therapy services seven days a week to guests of our program. Our interdisciplinary treatment approach tailors an individualized plan of care for each guest to help ensure their quick return home.
A past graduate of Pathways had this to say: “My therapy has been excellent and never before through all of my therapies have I seen or had a therapist who actually did all of the exercises with you. The therapists listened to suggestions and were very ‘real’ about it. For someone needing rehab services, I would recommend a stay at Vandalia Rehabilitation and Health Care Center”-Delmer Hoehne
Delmer’s son Jim shared “The staff was very friendly and I’m very pleased with the cleanliness of the facility. I’m very impressed and pleased with the progress and results of his therapy. We are all very pleased”. We take great pride in our work here at VRHCC! A special thanks to Dave and Vicki in our therapy department for making all these success stories a reality!
For more information on Pathways and the benefits of short term, personalized rehab-to-home therapy services provided at Vandalia Rehab & Health Care Center, please call our admissions coordinator Debra Hughes today! She would be happy to meet with you or your loved one to discuss how we can help you get back on the Pathway home!
