Transitional care is exactly what the term suggests--care provided for individuals transitioning from a major health event back to their home, or to another care environment, such as a long-term care facility.

Those who have undergone total joint replacements, such as a hip or a knee benefit from the wide range of rehabilitative therapies available. Along with physical therapy, the Transitional Care Center offers speech and occupational therapy.

Individuals recovering from a stroke will progress with the help of our multi-disciplinary approach to helping them return to their activities of daily living.

But, by far, the most important aspect of Grove City Medical Center’s Transitional Care Center is the homelike environment and the caring, compassionate staff members.

Private and semi-private rooms are available to meet the needs of our residents. We encourage residents to bring a few personal items from home to create their own special place while they stay with us.
We maintain an exceptionally high staffing level, which allows our nurses and aides to provide highly individualized care for residents.

Our social worker is resourceful, innovative and extremely qualified to help link residents with the appropriate services they’ll need to make a worry-free transition.

Activities
Residents are provided with a wide range of activities throughout each day, specially designed to entertain and stimulate the senses. Residents may participate in as many or as few as they wish, however, studies show that residents who engage in activities progress far more quickly in their rehabilitation than those who do not.

Beauty Services
A local hair stylist visits our Center weekly to provide low-cost services to our residents.

Visits
Friends and family are welcome to visit residents. Pet visits may also be arranged on an individual basis with prior notice to our staff.
