Heritage House Rehabilitation & Health Care Center

Heritage House Rehabilitation & Health Care Center, located in Connersville, Indiana, offers short-term rehabilitation, memory care, long-term care, respite care, hospice care, and outpatient therapy services.

Short-term rehabilitation is designed for those recovering from stroke, cardiovascular difficulties, orthopedic surgery, and other debilitating conditions. The program includes physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies provided by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers. Services encompass wound care, fall prevention, mobility training, contracture management, and wellness programs. The community's Road to Recovery program brings together the interdisciplinary team, patient, and family within 72 hours of admission to establish discharge goals and map out the recovery plan.

The memory care program is structured and research-based, utilizing a person-centered, wellness-based model that incorporates stimulating daily activities. It is designed for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss, offering a secure environment where residents maintain a sense of belonging and meaning through a Meaningful Day activity program built on four domains of wellness.

Long-term care serves those who require assistance with daily tasks and can no longer be cared for at home. Under physician guidance, care is provided by licensed nurses, specially-trained health care aides, and an interdisciplinary team. Services include physical, occupational, and speech therapies to help residents maintain independence in home-like, cheerful settings. The community accepts Medicaid and other payment options, with Medicaid specialists available to assist with applications.

Respite care provides short-term stays for those needing temporary relief from home caregiving responsibilities, allowing primary caregivers time to travel, recover from surgery, or attend to other needs. Hospice and palliative care services are offered in partnership with local hospice companies and include skilled nursing, spiritual counseling, pain management, and bereavement support for patients and families facing terminal illness.

Outpatient therapy services use clinically-proven strategies and latest technologies, with treatment designed to increase mobility, reduce inflammation and pain, and support post-operative recovery following physician-approved interventions.
