Short-Term Rehabilitation in Lake St. Louis
After a hospital stay, having support and a comfortable place to recover can make the next step feel more manageable. Cottages of Lake St. Louis offers short-term rehabilitation and skilled nursing care in welcoming ten bedroom homes. Each private bedroom includes an ensuite, private bathroom with a shower.
Recovery Focused on Your Goals
Whether you are recovering after surgery, an illness, or an injury, your care should reflect your individual needs. Our nursing and rehabilitation teams work with you on a plan focused on your recovery goals and the everyday activities that matter to you.
Throughout your stay, we help you and your family prepare for the next step, including a return home when appropriate.
Rehabilitation for Life Back Home
Recovery is about more than improving strength or walking farther. It is also about preparing for the specific activities you will need to do when you return home.
Our team uses functional therapy to help you practice everyday tasks based on your needs, home environment, and goals. That may include getting out of bed, using the bathroom, dressing, preparing a meal, or navigating steps.
Our onsite services include:
- Physical therapy to improve strength, balance, walking, and mobility.
- Occupational therapy to build skills for daily activities and routines.
- Speech-language therapy to address communication, thinking and memory skills, and swallowing.
Your therapy and nursing teams work with you to connect progress during your stay with the practical demands of life back home.
A Comfortable Home During Your Stay
Recovery happens between therapy sessions, too. Each cottage has a real kitchen where meals are prepared, comfortable gathering spaces, and the familiar sights, sounds, and aromas of everyday home life.
Your private bedroom and bathroom give you space to rest and recharge. Shared living and dining areas offer opportunities for conversation, family visits, and companionship.
