Healthcare Services

Do you offer short term rehabilitation?

Yes. At Waterman Canyon, your successful recovery and quick return home is our top priority. We provide a unique personalized experience whether you’re suffering from an illness or recovering from a major medical event. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy is conducted under the guidance of our multidisciplinary team of experts. 

When will the doctor see me?

Doctors typically visit within 24 hours of admission. Your nurse will communicate any medical concerns with your doctor before and after they see you. 

How often will I have therapy?

Most patients, depending on their condition and when they are admitted, will start rehab within 24 hours of admission and will receive therapy up to five times per week.

No, you do not need to provide medications unless specifically told to do so. Upon admission, we will order your medications using our off-site pharmacy then securely store them on-site to ensure safety. 

How long is a typical stay?

Each case is different and unique. Patient progress is reviewed weekly by our Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) of nurses, therapists, and dietitians. Our main goal is that you reach your highest level of independence.
