FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tom LeBlanc PT postmaster@home-entrepreneurs.com Healthcare Savings Breakthrough Oct 25, 2004, Baker City, Oregon – Transition Home announces a new transitional care (hospital-to-home) program that provides rehabilitation that can save patients thousands of dollars and return them to their homes in record time. The program makes available doctor-prescribed physical therapy 2-3 times per day versus the 2-3 times per week typically offered in non-skilled nursing homes. Individuals recovering from illnesses, injuries or surgeries sometimes need additional rehab when they no longer qualify for acute hospital and swing bed programs. Patients without Medicare or those whom Medicare no longer covers must decide where to continue their recovery until they are able to return home. Baker City’s Transition Home (a State-licensed level 3 adult foster home) is an option for these kinds of patients. "Intensive rehab equates to a shorter stay and reduced out-of-pocket expenses," says Tom LeBlanc, Transition Home’s Executive Vice President and on-site Licensed Physical Therapist. "And Transition Home’s physical therapy is NOT an ‘add on.’ It’s included in the modest monthly fee." "We believe strongly in getting people back to their homes," says Donna LeBlanc, President of Transition Home. "We installed a state-of-the-art heated indoor therapy pool to help make this happen. We feel that Transitional Care fills a vital need in today’s healthcare environment, and we plan to promote our Regional Rehabilitation Center throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho." When an individual becomes a resident of Transition Home’s new program family members can rest assured that their loved one will receive intensive rehab in a home-like environment with the best possible staff to patient ratio. For more information, call Transition Home’s toll-free 24-hour information line at (800) 390-8924, contact Tom or Donna directly at (541) 523-4788, or visit Transition Home’s Web site at www.transition-home.com # # # |
