SHORT TERM REHABILITATION
At The Gardens at Gettysburg, recovery is both personal and purposeful. Our short-term rehabilitation program is designed to help individuals regain strength and independence after an illness, injury, or hospital stay. Whether coming back from a surgery, a stroke, a cardiac event, or an orthopedic condition, we offer individualized care in an environment that promotes healing, inside and out.
Just steps from the therapy wing, our dedicated rehabilitation courtyard offers fresh air, walking paths, and a central pavilion where therapy sessions often take place in the open air. Every room in the rehab unit is equipped with its own bathtub, adding a layer of therapeutic value and comfort. Residents benefit from physical, occupational, and speech therapy, guided by a full-time team of licensed professionals, including a speech therapist, recreational therapists, and support staff. Our rehab kitchen and separate dining space encourage real-world skill-building, preparing residents for a confident return home.
With a focus on whole-person wellness, we also support pain management, medication oversight, and daily living routines. Families are encouraged to participate in care planning, and our team provides home safety education to ensure a smooth transition back to independent living.
RESPITE CARE
Caring for a loved one is a full-time commitment, and everyone deserves time to recharge. Our respite care program offers short-term stays in a nurturing, fully equipped setting that offers all the comforts of home and the assurance of round-the-clock support.
Guests enjoy the same services as full-time residents, including expert nursing care, medication management, help with daily routines, and access to our full calendar of activities and amenities, from courtyard gardening to live music events under the shade of mature trees.
WOUND CARE
Healing takes time, attention, and the right expertise, and that’s exactly what our wound care program delivers. Led by a dedicated wound care nurse practitioner who visits weekly, our team works closely with physicians and therapists to deliver evidence-based treatments for both acute and chronic wounds.
Residents and families are kept informed every step of the way, with regular updates and education to support understanding and peace of mind. With coordinated care, advanced clinical practices, and a personalized approach, we help residents recover with confidence.
SPEECH THERAPY
Our speech therapy services support residents in improving communication, cognition, and swallowing abilities. Licensed speech-language pathologists work one-on-one with residents to strengthen speech, language, voice, and memory skills, while also providing strategies for safe eating and swallowing.
Whether recovering from a stroke, managing a neurological condition, or facing age-related challenges, our therapy team focuses on personalized goals that promote independence, safety, and quality of life.
REHAB TO HOME
With a rehab-to-home philosophy, we focus on building strength and confidence through functional training, such as walking, transferring, and performing self-care tasks, to support independent and safe living.
We encourage family participation and provide education and home safety assessments to help prepare for a smooth discharge. Our goal is to help you move forward with care and confidence.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Our physical therapy program helps residents regain strength, improve mobility, and maintain independence. With individualized treatment plans, our licensed therapists focus on restoring balance, flexibility, endurance, and safe movement.
Whether recovering from surgery, healing after an illness or injury, or managing age-related challenges, our therapy team provides compassionate, goal-driven care to support each resident’s physical well-being. By encouraging progress at every step, we help residents move with greater confidence and enjoy a higher quality of life.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Our occupational therapy program is designed to help residents maintain independence, improve daily living skills, and enhance quality of life. Through personalized care plans, our licensed therapists focus on restoring strength, coordination, and confidence in everyday tasks such as dressing, bathing, eating, and mobility.
Whether recovering from illness, injury, or surgery—or managing the challenges of aging—our occupational therapy services provide the support residents need to live more fully and comfortably.
