Contract Rehab

Skilled and Long Term Care Nursing Facilities

The therapy team in a skilled nursing facility is specifically trained to participate in admission procedures, PPS/Care Plan procedures and to assist in the overall Medicare program. In all facilities, rehab departments will be trained in basic case-mix coordination.

The Summit’s management team is an extension of the individual facility’s team. The Regional Directors provide an added layer of expertise and utilization management. Our Education and Development department provides resources to address ongoing training and staff development issues.

The Rehab Department consists of:

• Program Director *
• Physical Therapist
• Occupational Therapist
• Speech Therapist
• Therapy Technician
(The number of therapists is caseload driven.)

* The Program Director, typically one of the rehab team members, oversees the rehab program, attends meetings, assists with admissions, coordinates paperwork, in-services and other vital rehab & facility needs.
