Transitions Program Helps Ocean City Residents Continue Recovery After Leaving Hospital Or Rehab

Ocean City, NJ -- United Methodist Communities at The Shores is offering a new program for anyone who was recently discharged from a hospital or rehabilitation facility prematurely, or who feels they still need support. Transitions offers a customized solution for these instances.

A Transitions stay may last between one and six weeks. Similar to traditional rehabilitation settings, Transitions focuses on people requiring recovery, reconditioning and clinical monitoring.

Typical residents need observation for new clinical situations such as medications, therapies and devices; rehabilitation to regain skills to manage living at home; extra support to gain confidence before returning home; time to allow the implementation of support structures at home; and further stabilization.

“This short term program works toward getting people back home safely,” United Methodist Communites Corporate Director of Marketing Robbie Voloshin said.

Guests receive services in Transitions’ neighborhood of private, fully-furnished, home-like apartments. While the environment is less restrictive, it continues to support overall recovery and wellness, according to United Methodist Communities.

The care and services include rehabilitation, social engagement, wellness programming, home environment assessments, and transitional care to home follow-up.

Meals, laundry and housekeeping; transportation; community life programming; social work, clinical and aide services; and SeniorFITness are included in the daily rate.
