All skilled nursing residents are screened upon admission for physical, occupational or speech therapy needs. If services are not needed at the time of admission, residents are screened on a quarterly basis for any decline that could be improved through therapy. Restorative nursing allows residents to maintain the skills and strength they gained in therapy through individualized programs performed by specially trained nursing staff.

It is our goal to return you to your home when you choose The Lutheran Home at Hollidaysburg as your short-term rehabilitation choice. Therapy at the home is a perfect fit for aging adults who need therapy but cannot tolerate the level of therapy that a rehab hospital demands.
Therapists use a one-on-one focus with each resident. Short-term rehabilitation residents may be recovering from hip or knee replacements, hip or pelvis fractures, back surgery or other injuries or surgeries or coping with neurological disorders, such as cerebrovascular accidents, Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIAs) and balance disorders.
Combining occupational, physical and speech therapy, the therapists coordinate the most efficient recovery possible to get residents back to their own homes. After residents complete treatment, the therapists conduct in-home evaluations and if needed, order equipment to make the home safe and accessible, such as a raised toilet seat or handle in the shower.
