Post-acute care plays a vital role in helping individuals recover after hospitalization due to illness, injury, or surgery. While many people are familiar with the idea of hospital care or long-term care, post-acute recovery often falls in between these stages. It serves as a bridge that helps patients regain strength, independence, and function before returning to their daily lives.
At Eden Healthcare Center, we specialize in skilled nursing and rehabilitation services that support the post-acute recovery process. Our team is committed to offering compassionate care tailored to the individual needs of every resident, helping them navigate the important transitional phase between hospital and home.
What Is Post-Acute Recovery?
Post-acute recovery refers to the care and services patients receive after being discharged from an acute care hospital. This level of care is essential for those who are not yet ready to return home but no longer need the intensive treatment provided in a hospital setting.
Patients who benefit from post-acute services often include those recovering from surgeries such as hip or knee replacements, strokes, heart attacks, or other serious medical events. During post-acute recovery, the goal is to continue the healing process while providing supportive therapies and services that prevent complications and promote independence.
Comprehensive Post-Acute Services at Eden
Eden Healthcare Center provides a full range of post-acute care services. We are located in Hayward, California, and offer both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care in a welcoming, home-like environment. Our skilled team includes licensed nurses, certified therapists, and trained caregivers who work together to support residents through every step of recovery.
One of the key components of post-acute recovery at Eden is our in-house rehabilitation gym. This facility allows our licensed therapists to deliver physical, occupational, and speech therapy services in a setting that supports consistency and quality of care. Our therapists create individualized treatment plans designed to help each resident meet their recovery goals.
In addition to therapy, Eden offers 24-hour skilled nursing care. Our nursing team is available around the clock to monitor residents’ health, administer medications, manage wounds, and respond to any changes in condition. This continuous support is crucial for a successful post-acute recovery, especially for individuals who may have multiple health concerns.
Personalized Care Plans
Eden Healthcare Center uses an interdisciplinary team approach to develop personalized care plans for each resident. Upon admission, a comprehensive evaluation is completed to determine each patient’s medical needs, rehabilitation goals, and personal preferences. This process ensures that every aspect of a resident’s care—from therapy to nutrition to social support—is coordinated for optimal recovery.
By tailoring care plans to the individual, Eden helps residents recover in a way that respects their unique journey. Whether the focus is on improving mobility, regaining speech, or managing a chronic condition, our team works collaboratively with residents and their families to track progress and adjust plans as needed.
Support Beyond Medical Care
Post-acute recovery involves more than just physical healing. Emotional and social well-being are equally important. At Eden, we offer daily activities and opportunities for social engagement to help residents stay connected and positive throughout their recovery.
Our dietary team, including an on-staff registered dietitian, supports each resident’s nutritional needs with customized meal planning. Good nutrition is an essential part of the post-acute healing process, especially for individuals who may have dietary restrictions or specific medical conditions.
We also provide social services to assist residents and their families during transitions. From admission to discharge planning, our staff is available to help navigate the logistics of care, coordinate with insurance providers, and prepare for the return home or to a long-term care setting if needed.
