Drake Center: Specialized Medical & Rehabilitative Care
Inpatient Services
The comprehensive inpatient services at Drake Center encompass long-term acute care (medically complex and rehabilitation care) and skilled nursing. Drake Center’s team works with each inpatient and family to develop and carry out a treatment plan that meets the individual’s needs.
Our programs are carefully designed to help them through the recovery process — from relearning basic life skills to reclaiming their lives. And our specialized services contribute to both successful recovery and future prevention. (Please see the following sections for more information).
The team focuses on providing expert care and restoring optimal functioning in such areas as movement, ambulation, muscle strengthening, self-care, bowel and bladder management, feeding and swallowing, speech and communication, thinking, memory, problem solving, and social skills.
Services provided for inpatients include:
-
Medically complex care - our highest level of care for seriously ill patients, often requiring cardiac monitoring, ventilator management, and other complex services.
-
Medically deconditioned care - the level of care needed when patients’ health problems (such as diabetes with complications, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and kidney disease) are numerous but less serious than medically complex conditions.
-
General post-surgical care - treatment for complications from major surgery following release from a short-term hospital.
-
Wound care - treatment for slow- or non-healing wounds, such as pressure ulcers or difficult surgical wounds.
