Short-Term Care

SHORT-TERM SENIOR CARE THAT HELPS YOU Return Home QUICKLY

Providing intensive therapies, expert knowledge and innovative solutions, Tutera is raising the bar as a health care leader to provide excellence in short-term senior care. Rehabilitation and recovery often go hand in hand, complementing each other in the healing process. Rehabilitation provides the necessary tools and support to regain functional abilities, while recovery enables individuals to rediscover their identity, rebuild relationships, and find hope and inspiration.

Our care team delivers post-acute rehabilitation, including physical therapy, that helps seniors achieve life-changing results. We customize a coordinated care plan for each person, taking time to listen and understand what matters most upon returning home.

Tutera’s clinical team, partnering with in-house therapies, offers a comprehensive and coordinated approach to recovery, bridging a person’s hospital stay with a successful return to life at home. Therapy partners offer physical, occupational and speech therapy in-house following a personalized treatment plan developed for each individual to support their specific needs and goals after a hospital stay. The care team’s engagement and systems can identify potential stumbling blocks along the road to recovery.

Younite Philosophy

Our YOUNITE philosophy guides every decision we make. YOUNITE emphasizes getting to know each resident personally, using their unique preferences to tailor care. This ensures we provide the right care at the right time, all inspired by you.

Role of Nutrition

Our emphasis on nutrition as an integral part of the recovery process helps promote optimal healing and overall well-being by providing well-balanced meals, accommodating dietary restrictions for short-term senior care and meeting individual preferences. Proper nutrition can significantly enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation by facilitating muscle repair, wound healing and energy levels necessary for therapy sessions.
