About Us
St. Luke's Transitional Care Center is a recuperative and supportive place to heal following an injury, surgery or serious illness. This facility is unique to our community and is specially designed to bridge the distance between a hospital setting and the place you really want to be "home." It's not a nursing home - it's a true transitional care center designed for short-term rehabilitation.
Our professional approach to healing includes daily, individualized therapy sessions to help patients regain the strength, stability and confidence they need to function at their best. A dedicated team of providers, nurses, social workers, physical, occupational and speech therapists, and support staff help patients manage their health, so they can focus on getting better.
