When the transition from hospitalization to home requires a stay in short
term care, The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center offers a new, state-of-the-art
facility for residents of northeast Wyoming and the surrounding region.
Short term care, also called short term rehabilitation, is focused on getting
people back to their homes with a daily therapy schedule, such as physical
or speech therapy, and help with the activities of daily living like dressing
and cooking meals. Rehabilitation is all about movement, healing and regaining
the lifestyle you desire. Our focus is sending you home with renewed strength
and confidence in managing your daily life. Short term rehab patients
enjoy their own separate wing at The Legacy with private rooms and bathrooms
and direct access to the large rehab gym. The Rehab Center is full of
natural light and innovative therapeutic equipment to meet every patient’s
care plan. Stays typically range from one to several weeks.

Physical, occupational and speech therapies with licensed professionals

dressing, simplifying tasks, pressure reduction, communication, speech,
swallowing and energy conservation
A local physiatrist will help assure that the patients are medically stable

occupational and speech therapists with individualized practices to achieve
the best outcomes for each patient
Care managers can assist with the admission and insurance coverage process
