Rehabilitation Nursing

Some conditions or procedures require rehabilitation nursing. The goal of this service is to help patients transition safely from the hospital to their home. Nurses work with the patient to improve their quality of life, often starting by assessing the patient’s needs and then creating a care plan to address those needs.

Conditions that could require rehabilitation nursing include:

  • stroke
  • brain injury
  • amputations
  • severe burns
  • deconditioned, acute, or chronic pain
  • cardiac disease
  • respiratory disease
  • bowel or bladder impairment
  • wounds
  • organ transplant
  • cancer

Rehabilitation nursing is focused on function and what will help the patient get back to their daily life as safely as possible. Rehabilitation nurses often also work with other members of the patient’s home care team. This could include other in-home therapists and nurses, the patient’s primary care physician, and other healthcare professionals. A large part of rehabilitation nursing is collaboration and a holistic approach to the patient’s care. Everyone works together to set the patient up for success.

It often includes education and support for the caregivers as well. The patient’s healthcare team may work with the family and friends of the patient to help them take care of the patient. This could include training on specific tasks, education about the patient’s condition, or many other forms of support. Rehabilitation nursing is tailored to each patient’s unique needs, and so it looks different for each patient. The primary goal  is always to hep the patient get back to their daily life and be as independent as possible.

Rehabilitation nursing is just one of the many services offered by Haven Home Health. For more information about our home health services, check out our page or contact us.

Why Ownership Matters:

At Haven Home Health and Hospice, we are proud to be the last locally-owned, independent, and clinician-led provider of home-based care in our region. While that may sound like a simple fact, it’s actually a defining difference—one that matters deeply to the quality of care our patients receive every day. In recent years, private equity firms and large corporate healthcare chains have rapidly bought out home health and hospice providers across the country, including right here in our community. What we’ve seen in the aftermath is troubling: rapid turnover of staff, shrinking time spent with patients, and decisions driven more by profit margins than by compassion, dignity, and clinical excellence. 

When ownership shifts from caregivers to corporations, priorities shift too. 

We believe healthcare should never be treated like a commodity. That’s why we’ve remained committed to local, clinician-led ownership—because we answer to patients, not shareholders. Our leadership is hands-on, involved, and invested in every life we touch. We believe that meaningful care takes time, intention, and heart—and it starts with the people who make the decisions. As owners who are also licensed clinicians, we understand the weight of the responsibility we carry. Our patients are not numbers in a spreadsheet. They are parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. And we believe they deserve the kind of care we’d want for our own families. We will continue to stand against the corporatization of healthcare, and we invite you to stand with us. Whether you’re a patient, a referral partner, or a member of the community, your trust makes it possible for us to preserve something rare and essential in today’s healthcare system: personalized, human-centered care. Because in the end, ownership isn’t just about who signs the papers—it’s about who shows up when it matters most.
