There are also regular activities and outings in the community.

Successful Weaning Program

Receive a high standard of ventilator care. We have a history of liberating patients from mechanical ventilation. This progressive, individualized process may include:

Assessing your current condition and abilities

Progressing as fast as you and your body allow

Liberating you from mechanical ventilation

Removing your trach as appropriate

Approximately two-thirds of our ventilator dependent patients have been able to successfully wean (liberate from the ventilator seven consecutive days). Our weaning program has been optimized over the years allowing many of our patients to return home.

“I am always impressed and pleased with the staff's commitment to quality service and caring expressions...”
