Specialized Services
Short-term Rehabilitation
The Timbers of Cass County specializes in caring for the post-acute patient whose needs are high-risk, and whose goals are often short-term. Our rehabilitation unit boasts private rooms, a distinct and separate entrance, and dedicated staff. Added amenities offer patients mounted televisions with cable as well as personal telephones.
Care Pathways Program for Discharge Planning
The Timbers of Cass County is a leader in care coordination. We utilize a program of Care Mapping to develop individual care pathways which specify clinical and rehabilitation goals that are measurable which drive the management of each patient's care.
Through our Care Mapping process, the patient's discharge plan is discussed with the inter-disciplinary team within 24 hours of admission. At that time, the team discusses what must be accomplished to meet the goals of the patient.
Our experience in coordinating and managing the care continuum provides a smooth transition from acute care to skilled nursing facility to home.
