What to Expect Upon Admission

What to expect upon admission to Marin Post Acute.

At Marin Post Acute, making sure incoming patients understand what to expect
upon admission is very important to us. Typically, the reality of a short-term
rehab is much more attractive than the picture painted by nursing home labels
of times past.

A Caregivers Role

At Marin Post Acute, we understand that taking care of an aging loved one is draining, both physi-
cally and emotionally. It can be lonely, overwhelming and frustrating, and it often seems thank-
less. Despite all of this, family caregivers persevere and wake up every day to face new challeng-
es. Why? Because they care.
Caregiving is the ultimate act of love. It is a selfless, generous thing to do, and one that many
people wouldn’t think about taking on. Our staff will help guide you to be the best caregiver you
possibly can for your loved one.
So, give yourself some credit. Realize how important your role as a caregiver is. In times of grief
and frustration, it is difficult to imagine how in the world caregiving can be considered a positive
experience. However, if you delve a little deeper, you will find the silver linings of your clouds.
One of the biggest fears that people have about illness is going through these events alone.
Because of you, your loved one will never have to face that. Whether they are of sound mind or
struggling with the effects of dementia, they will understand on some level that you are with them
when they need you most. Your time, effort and attention provide comfort and have a profoundly
beneficial impact on your loved one. This is a priceless gift.

Short-Term & Post-Hospital
Rehabilitation at Marin Post Acute

Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapy
Marin Post Acute partners with RehabCare therapists to address every aspect of your rehabilita-
tion. From walking strong to speaking clearly, our teams can help you rebuild your strength, your
skills, and your confidence.

Orthopedic/Joint Replacement Program
Following a joint replacement, the Marin Post Acute team will develop a plan to begin restoring
your range of motion and mobility. Our goal is to improve your confidence and reduce and
manage your pain so that you can successfully return to your daily life.

Cardiac Rehab
Patients who have experienced a cardiac event require a delicate balance of medication, diet, and
life style adjustments. The Marin Post Acute care team can help you manage your condition and
its side effects while working with you to begin restoring your heart to healthy functioning.

Short-Term & Post-Hospital
Rehabilitation at Marin Post Acute

Post-Stroke Rehab
Marin Post Acute focuses on regaining and refining skills, movement coordination, and speech
lost due to a stroke. We can help you relearn how to perform daily tasks, compensate for perma-
nent losses incurred from brain injury, and regain your confidence.

Pain Management
We understand that pain can delay and interrupt the progress of rehabilitation. We strive to make
our patients as comfortable as possible, through medication and other pain management
techniques. We help patients participate in and benefit from therapy. We also provide our patients
with educational information and resources you will need to successfully manage temporary,
long-term, or chronic pain once they return home.
