Let's Get Started

Short-term rehabilitation—or post-acute, transitional care—helps patients regain strength and relieve pain while recovering from a health event, such as a hospital stay for an illness, injury or surgery. The goal of short-stay rehabilitation is to help you get back to your home and routine quickly.

Transportation will be arranged for you. The Terraces at Los Altos will be informed of your anticipated arrival time, and your family and/or emergency contact will be notified by your hospital case manager/discharge planner.

Our therapy services are available seven days a week, and you’ll typically begin rehabilitation from day one with an evaluation. After your evaluation, we’ll create a customized care plan focused on your individual rehabilitation goals.

Your length of stay at The Terraces at Los Altos will vary, depending on your own personal rehabilitation goals. You will receive a tentative discharge date when you arrive, and we’ll adjust that date as needed throughout your rehabilitation stay.

In some cases, your physician might not be able to check in on you during your short-term post-acute rehabilitation stay. In these instances, we have expert physicians who will be able to work with you. After your discharge from The Terraces at Los Altos, you will need to follow up with your primary care doctor.

We have multiple dining options at The Terraces at Los Altos. You are welcome to eat socially in our dining room, enjoy our bistro, dine with friends and family or have a meal delivered to your room.

In addition to your regular therapy program, you are also welcome to enjoy the endless opportunities and activities available to The Terraces at Los Altos community.

Our social worker can answer any questions you have and help you access community resources and services.
