The Ellison John Transitional Care Center

The purpose of introducing this new concept into the Ellison John’s Rehabilitation Department is to enhance the Rehab service offerings provided to it’s residents. It is our belief that the current day rehabilitation needs of skilled nursing facility residents at times challenge SNF’s to think outside of the box to provide residents with as many real-life therapy experiences as possible to return residents back to the community.

Transferring in and out of a vehicle is one of the most common activities a discharging resident will perform after discharge from our SNF. While in a perfect scenario vehicle transfer training would be conducted with his or her own personal or loved ones vehicle, it is not always convenient to have this vehicle available on site to perform this transfer training.

We believe that offering this training within our Rehabilitation Gym allows convenience for residents to repeat this task numerous times before needing to actually transfer into their own or loved ones vehicle.
