BRONX, NY, March 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Northern Facilities, a network of nursing homes in Rockland County, recently announced an extension of patient and family care services at its Northern Riverview center. Accessible online at http://www.NorthernServicesGroup.com, the short term rehab Northern Riverview center has lately striven to increase the range of its caregiver offerings in order to best serve not only its patients but also their family members. Recent program roll-outs include Northern Riverview's Sub-Acute Care and Ventilator Unit options for patients, as well as its Respite Care support recently made available to those working primarily in a caregiving capacity.

"We're constantly working at bettering our service offerings at Northern Riverview, and seeing that our patients receive only the highest quality of care possible. Whether our rehab centers in NY are working in support of seniors requiring post-hospital care on their road to recovery, or whether we're providing our long-term patients' dedicated families with a much-needed support network, it's essential to us that we listen to our clients' feedback and tailor our services to their expressed needs. The latest expansion of our holistic services at Northern Riverview goes to show just how important an open and conversational relationship is between our patients and our staff, and we're excited to continue to provide quality nursing home therapy services," said Jeremy Strauss, the Executive Director of Centers for Specialty Care Group, which consults for Northern Facilities' rehab centers New York.

One of the most recently updated service plans on offer for patients at Northern Riverview is its newly debuted extensive Sub-Acute care package. Intended particularly for patients who require an extra-attentive level of care and specialized services after time spent in the hospital, Sub-Acute care is designed both to address specific patient needs as well as eventually prepare them for a return home. Patients enrolled in the nursing home therapy program at Northern Riverview stay for a short-term in a comfortable home-like setting, supported by a staff of 24-hour caregivers. Specialized services under the Sub-Acute care short term rehab plan range from speech, occupational and physical therapy to pain management, wound care, cardiac rehabilitation and IV therapy, as well as a reintroduction to home skills and self-care. The program's two-fold goal helps individuals increase strength and endurance while also fostering independence.

Supplementing the Sub-Acute care program, Northern Riverview also recently unveiled its Ventilator Unit services. Designed for patients with chronic or acute breathing problems, the state-of-the-art program, housed within the facility, is a convenient and relaxing solution for long-term NY rehab center patients. With a multidisciplinary staff of respiratory therapists, speech therapists, and other specialists, all of whom work closely with experienced pulmonologists, the program's manifesto is personalized care that lets patients and their loved ones breathe easier.

Alongside Northern Facilities' other rehab centers in New York, Northern Riverview additionally recently introduced a Respite Plan designed to soothe and support families and caregivers who have dedicated a bulk of their energy towards looking after their loved ones. As a temporary dose of tranquility, the Respite Care service provides licensed respite beds to those feeling overwhelmed by the physical, emotional, and financial challenges of caring for a loved one suffering from ill health.
