This program is a multi-disciplinary approach with an emphasis on returning each patient to a level of function equivalent to or better than what was maintained prior to hospitalization.

The plan of care is individualized to each patient and is a collaborative effort from professionals to ensure quality of care.

HCP offers all post-operative patients an individualized exercise program in the home.

INTENSIVE THERAPY BENEFITS:

  • Physical therapy five of the first seven days after discharging from the hospital
  • Teaching to identify cardiac precautions during mobility

HOW CAN HCP
Improve Your Recovery?

Exercise
THE PRIMARY STEP TO A SUCCESSFUL RECOVERY

An exercise regimen for the cardiovascular patient is designed to increase the heart’s efficiency, lower blood pressure, increase strength and flexibility to improve balance and reduce falls, decrease stress, and create an overall improvement in the quality of life.

Mobility
ESSENTIAL TO AN ACTIVE LIFE

Our staff helps you through the post-surgical process. We provide instruction on energy conservation, cardiac precautions, DME, and adaptive devices. Emphasis will be placed on safety as you perform the tasks required to care for yourself.

Pain Management
THE KEY TO ACTIVE PARTICIPATION DURING REHAB

Pain inhibits your ability to fully participate in physical therapy over the course of a four to eight week recovery.

HCP staff will provide education to help decrease pain and improve your activities of daily living. Your physician and physical therapist will work with you to develop a plan consisting of prescribed medication and other methods necessary to relieve pain.

Education
AN EDUCATION PATIENT IS A HEALTHY PATIENT

It is critical for the patient to play an active role in the healing process. HCP will guide and assist you in the recognition of post-operative complications. A successful recovery involves a well informed patient.
