Focused recovery, seven days a week
Short-term rehabilitation is intensive, goal-driven therapy after a surgery, stroke, fall, or extended hospital stay. Our therapists work with you one-on-one to rebuild strength, balance, and confidence, with a written plan and a realistic target date for going home.
What's included
- Physical therapy to rebuild strength, balance, and mobility
- Occupational therapy for dressing, bathing, and daily tasks
- Speech and swallow therapy after stroke or illness
- One-on-one sessions offered seven days a week
- A modern, on-site rehabilitation gym
- Discharge planning and home-safety guidance
Who it's for
Rehabilitation is ideal for patients leaving the hospital after joint replacement, cardiac events, stroke, a serious fall, or a long illness. Residents who need extended medical support after therapy often transition to our skilled nursing care — anyone who needs focused therapy to safely regain independence before returning home.

A typical day in The Ivy at Davenport's rehabilitation program
Rehabilitation at The Ivy at Davenport is structured, purposeful, and built around your recovery goals. Most days begin with a light breakfast before your first therapy session — physical therapy to rebuild strength and balance, occupational therapy to practice everyday tasks, or speech therapy if swallowing or communication is part of your plan. Sessions run seven days a week so momentum never stalls over a weekend.
After therapy, residents enjoy lunch in our dining room, afternoon activities, and time to rest. Progress meetings happen weekly — your therapist, your family, and your physician reviewing goals and celebrating wins together. Our discharge planner begins home-safety planning early in the stay, so the transition back to independent living is as smooth as possible. Many residents who complete short-term rehabilitation also explore skilled nursing if ongoing medical support is needed.
