🚨Why Early Rehab Matters More Than You Think🚨

Recovering after a hospital stay—especially for older adults—isn’t just about rest. It’s about moving, support, and timing. Here’s why early rehabilitation can make all the difference:

🕒 1. Early Rehab = Better Outcomes
Starting rehab within 48–72 hours after an illness or hospitalization significantly improves mobility and independence in older adults.

➡️ In a rehab facility, evaluations happen within the first 2–3 days. But if you go home, home health may not start until a week or more later. Timing matters.

💪 2. Muscle Loss Happens Fast
Older adults can lose up to 1.5 kg of muscle in just one week of bed rest. That’s why starting rehab right away is crucial to avoid long-term weakness or disability.

🛏️ 3. Hospital Deconditioning Is Real
More than 30% of older adults leave the hospital with reduced physical function—even when their illness is treated.

🏡 That’s why choosing a rehab facility can provide essential support during therapy, meals, hygiene, and daily living tasks.

🚶 4. Falls Prevention Is Key
Falls are a top cause of injury and rehospitalization in older adults. Post-illness rehab includes balance and gait training to help reduce this risk.

☝🏻 Many older adults go home weaker than before—they need strength and support to regain independence safely.

💊 5. Medications Can Complicate Recovery
Taking 5+ medications (very common for seniors) can impact balance, memory, and strength.

In rehab, we help with medication reconciliation—making sure you’re on the right meds, with the right support, at the right time.

🧠 6. Cognition Affects Rehab Success
Stress, illness, and trauma can cloud thinking.

Cognitive challenges don’t have to be a barrier—rehab with the right support and simplified plans can still lead to great outcomes.

❤️ 7. Support & Motivation Make All the Difference- Patients with strong support systems recover faster.

Here at Old Cheney Rehab, we’re not just your therapy team—we’re your cheerleaders, here to help you regain strength, confidence, and independence.

From hospital to home, let us help you bridge the gap safely and successfully. 🏠💪
