Mark Berger Villa Healthcare Short-Term Rehabilitation

Short-Term Rehab and Skilled Nursing at Villa under the guidance of Mark Berger, Villa Healthcare Chief Executive Officer

Quite often, patients who are released from the hospital need to continue care before going home. Short-term rehabilitation, also called skilled nursing care or transitional care, is the perfect solution for patients who have been released from the hospital following a serious illness, injury or surgery, but need more time to recover before safely returning home. If you’re in need of such hospital-level care before returning to your home, the short-term rehab program offered at Villa Healthcare, founded by Mark Berger, is the perfect place to regain your health and get you back on your feet. Short-term rehab services help bridge the gap between the hospital and home by enabling patients to cultivate the necessary skills to lead an independent lifestyle.

Although it depends on their condition, short-term rehab patients typically need extended medical care, nursing care and therapies for a few weeks before going home. Patients in need of rehabilitative or skilled nursing care can now choose from a variety of nursing facilities that offer short-term rehabilitation and specialized care for medically complex conditions.

If you have had an illness, hospital stay or surgery and you’re ready to leave the hospital, but not ready to return home, the transitional care offered in a comfortable, hotel-like setting at Villa Healthcare could be just the thing you need to get back on your feet. The center’s experienced staff helps patients heal and regain their strength and function through rehabilitation services to return home. This leading provider of post-hospital care offers its exceptional care and passionate service standards to locations throughout Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. As the company’s CEO, Mark Berger oversees every aspect of the work, ensuring that his staff members are fully engaged and committed to providing a supportive, therapeutic environment with key focus on restoring or maintaining the patients’ optimal level of functioning and independence. Mark Berger has built a company on continuous improvement and responsiveness, committed to making Villa’s culture one of respect, transparency and integrity. “..happy, engaged employees provide the best care.
