Rehabilitation stays usually range from fourteen to one hundred days.  An average length of stay is forty-seven days.  During this time the patient’s room and board, medications, meals, x-rays, laboratory tests, and physician visits are covered by Medicare and/or supplemental insurance.  There are usually no out of pocket expenses.

Your loved one will receive up to three hours of therapy per day and twenty-four hour nursing supervision.  The patient’s  primary physician will follow them while at Leslie Lakes skilled nursing facility.  He or she must be seen once every thirty days.  Upon discharge back into the community, our therapists will do a home evaluation to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.  The rehabilitation team will evaluate your home and recommend adaptive equipment and physical modifications to make living at home easier.  We also provide referrals to community services to ensure your at-home needs are served.
