Our unique subacute level rehabilitation program is what distinguishes AristaCare at Alameda Center from all other
short term rehab facilities. At AristaCare at Alameda Center, patients receive customized, intensive therapy, seven days a week in an acute level setting. This aggressive approach ensures better outcomes, and a faster recovery.
At AristaCare at Alameda Center, we feature a separate floor dedicated to short term care where our highly trained nursing department is uniquely qualified to care for all our patients' needs. The floor boasts a high nurse to patient ratio. Every amenity possible is provided to ensure that each patient is comfortable and feels at home. Our goal is to bring each patient to their highest
possible level of functioning in the shortest amount of time, utilizing a comprehensive multi-disciplinary team approach.
Our primary focus is to
rehabilitate each patient to their highest function level possible.
Aside from traditional therapy, we have a complete Therapeutic
Recreation department which works to accomplish these same goals.
One of the tools we use to do this is the Nintendo Wii gaming
system. We use the Wii system as a training tool to increase range
of motion, train balance, increase endurance, and promote better
general physical and mental health. Under the supervision of a
therapist, the patient works on specific goals, but views the rehab
as extra curricular entertainment. Virtual reality tools such as the
Wii are used by both the therapy & activity staff. This is just one
of the many examples of how we incorporate non-traditional
therapy/exercise approaches along side proven traditional
approaches.
