Not Your Ordinary Rehab Facility

Archive.

A short-term facility adjacent to but separate from Crisp Regional Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Crisp Regional Health Services’ Cordele Health and Rehab offers care for patients recovering from illness or injury or from conditions that have been addressed through surgery. The cheerful color scheme, welcoming staff, full roster of activities and dedicated entrance make the facility appealing and easily accessible to patients and their loved ones.

Patients at Cordele Health and Rehab may be dealing with a variety of conditions, including cardiac, orthopedic and neurological challenges. To work through these conditions and help patients return home with their prior level of function restored, they may participate in occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. Services such as IV therapy and wound treatment are also available.

“We address the specific needs of each individual,” says Kameron Causey, PT, DPT, physical therapist with Cordele Health and Rehab. “People can come here for more intensive treatments than they would get from home health or on an outpatient level.”

AN UNUSUAL RANGE OF CARE …

In addition to rehabilitation services, Cordele Health and Rehab offers dental, ophthalmic and podiatric care.

“We provide the highest quality of patient care in South Georgia,” says Rena Dickerson, Senior Nursing Home Administrator with Cordele Health and Rehab. “We are ready to work with every patient who walks through our doors.”

Other services include:

  • Therapeutic plans for patients with neurologic needs, sports injuries, joint replacement, orthopedic repairs, plantar fasciitis, back pain, geriatric complications, vestibular/vertigo and workers’ compensation, as well as for children and amputees
  • Pre-habilitation for joint replacement
  • Instrument-assisted soft tissue massage for myofascial release
  • Manual therapy
  • Therapeutic exercise
  • Neuromuscular re-education
  • Balance and gait training
  • Custom orthotics
  • Pain and swelling management through electrical stimulation, iontophoresis, ultrasound and more.

… AND PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES

To enhance emotional, mental and spiritual health as well as physical well-being, Cordele Health and Rehab hosts a variety of activities for patients and staff alike, offering recreational opportunities such as arts and crafts, bingo, bowling, and pizza and popcorn socials.

“Volunteers from the South Georgia community often attend and help out during these programs, and everyone loves the collaboration,” Rena says. “These activities give patients a chance to socialize and live life to the fullest as they prepare to return home.”
