East End Health & Rehab Center

East End Health & Rehab Center sits in Highland Park, Pittsburgh, at 745 N Highland Ave, and has 144 beds for skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, offering care for seniors who need help with daily tasks or medical needs, and the place covers a wide range of options like skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, memory care, personal care, home health care, home care (non-medical), independent living, adult day services, short-term rehab, respite care, and specialized hospice care, so there's a lot going on in the building and you see many different kinds of care under one roof. The facility has three large balconies where folks can sit outside and enjoy the view, which is nice for those who want a little fresh air and peace, and inside, you'll meet teams of professional caregivers who focus on compassion and doing their jobs right rather than acting like everything's perfect all the time, and you'll see that they pay special attention to each resident's needs, aiming for wellness and letting folks keep as much independence as possible, whatever their situation might be. Rehabilitation services cover physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, and care goes from round-the-clock skilled nursing-helpful for conditions like pain, wound care, stroke recovery, IV therapy, and post-surgical help-to short stays for those needing time between a hospital and going back home, and the PATH Program tries to get people home safely and quickly using evidence-based practices, which is a mouthful, but it mostly means they use proven ways to keep patients from having to go back to the hospital again and again. The place takes Medicaid and Medicare, so people who need help paying for care have some options. There's a pre-registration program for folks who know they're going to need therapy after surgery, which helps them plan in advance, and every resident gets a custom care plan from the clinical leadership team that matches their goals and health situation. East End Health & Rehab Center is a community within Saber Healthcare Group and, though there's an online directory with monthly updates, the place isn't accepting new residents right now, but services are offered in English with some staff able to use other languages, which is handy for those who don't speak English well.
