Post-acute rehabilitation, skilled care, skilled rehab, swing bed, or transitional care may be terms doctors use when someone is ready to leave a hospital following serious illness like a stroke, or injury, or surgery—but not yet well enough to return home on their own. This level of care usually lasts only a matter of days or weeks and requires a doctor’s referral to a skilled nursing facility – like Aase Haugen. Facilities like Aase provide an important, less expensive alternative to hospitalization.

Aase Haugen is a great choice for skilled care. We offer in-depth medical care, but we’re different from hospitals because our center provides home-like comforts and a less-structured atmosphere. Your neighbors here are not ill, they are just aging. In fact, they welcome new people, and their companionship offers skilled patients mental, physical, and social stimulation.

Aase Haugen’s skilled rehabilitation wing always has a nurse on staff who is trained to serve your specialized needs and our in-house physical, occupational and speech therapists have a center just down the hall. Skilled patients at Aase Haugen enjoy a private room with a spacious private bathroom and shower, convenient in-room refrigerator, comfortable chairs for visitors, a private dining area with microwave, stove and coffee maker, off-street visitor parking, free cable TV and wireless internet, 3 nutritious meals and 2 snacks each day, outdoor gardens, private areas to read and relax and more. In addition, skilled care patients can participate in our many activities.

Aase Haugen’s goal is to help people rehab and return home to enjoy an active lifestyle, or to thrive within their means at our facility. Everyone has a choice for skilled care – choose Aase Haugen.
