At Avon Health Center, we’re proud to offer the most advanced, effective skilled nursing care and physical recovery methods available today.
Our in-house physiatry program brings a rehabilitation physician right into our facility, so patients can focus on healing in a familiar, supportive setting.
What Is Physiatry and How Can It Help You Recover Faster?
Also known as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), physiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the muscles, bones, nerves and movement. It addresses key factors for older adults who want to live safely and independently, including pain management and restoring function.
Whether you enjoy gardening, cooking or playing with your grandchildren, physiatry can help you achieve your rehabilitation goals more efficiently.
Why Choose a Skilled Nursing Facility with an On-Site Physiatrist?
Our in-house physiatrist works closely with the nursing and therapy teams to address the unique needs of older adults. When your rehabilitation plan includes regular access to a physiatrist, you benefit from:
- Personalized recovery plans designed for faster outcomes
- Active pain management strategies without unnecessary medications
- Fall prevention techniques that help reduce hospital readmission rates
- Mobility, balance and strength training that supports the activities you love
Our partnership with American Physiatry ensures that your care is guided by experts who understand both the medical and functional sides of recovery.
What Conditions Can a Physiatrist Treat?
If you are recuperating from surgery, managing a chronic condition or regaining mobility after an
injury, our in-house physiatrist can help with:
- Stroke recovery
- Joint replacement rehabilitation
- Back or neck pain
- Neurological conditions
- Orthopedic injuries
- Post-fracture care
How Does the In-House Program Work at Avon Health Center?
From the day you arrive, our physiatrist is part of your care team. They work directly with our medical and nursing staff to assess your medical history, current abilities and personal goals to design a tailored plan.
