Rehabilitation

Designed to Help You Stay Well

Kendal at Ithaca’s health care programs are designed to help you stay well and maintain your highest level of self-care and independence. Our health care goals are to establish a sense of well being among all residents and to deliver the finest of services — in the convenient and congenial surroundings of your own community.

Our full continuum of health care for life allows people to face the realities of aging in a positive way, rather than from the viewpoint of illness or disability. Each person benefits from a coordinated approach by our health care team, which consists of physicians, nurse practitioner, nursing staff, social workers, psychologist and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. The resident is a member of the health care team and an active participant in all health care decisions. 

Services covered by the Standard Contract include:

• Coordinated, individualized health care program, providing a continuum of care on site for the life of each resident
• Resident Care Clinic offering preventive health services and dispensing prescriptions
• Enhanced Assisted Living Residence and skilled nursing care on site
• 24 hour a day emergency call system in cottages and apartments
• Provision without additional charge of prescription medications listed on our formulary
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site
• Local medical transportation
• Processing of Medicare and supplemental insurance forms
• Provision of transportation back to Ithaca if resident becomes ill while traveling in the continental United States, Canada or Mexico.
