You have a choice when you need care following an injury or illness
Faster recovery for post-acute care, right here at home.
You hold the power to choose your path after hospitalization. When you or a loved one needs additional care, consider Arbor Health as your supportive bridge between the hospital and the comfort of home.
Your best choice for recovery
If you or a loved one faces hospitalization due to a complex illness or injury, and you find yourself uncertain about taking the next steps, remember that you can choose a different path. After being informed of your discharge, you can opt for our Extended-Care Rehab Program—often referred to as Swing Bed, Skilled Nursing, Post-Acute Care or Transitional Care.
Without this option, many patients end up in nursing homes, often for a prolonged recovery period, with less than optimal care. However, the choice is yours. We wholeheartedly encourage you to consider Arbor Health—Morton Hospital for a more personalized recovery experience right here at home.
Our dedicated team offers 24/7 medical care for patients with complex needs, ensuring you receive the attention and support necessary for a safe recovery. In fact, our staffing levels are quadruple what you would find in a typical nursing home.
In Our Extended-Care Rehab Unit, You Will Experience:
- Hospital-level nurse staffing, prioritizing your safety and accelerating your recovery
- A personalized care plan tailored to your unique needs
- Engaging bedside rounds that include you, your family, and your care team, all working together to meet your goals
