The TCU at Hannah Duston

Getting home after your acute rehab stay or orthopedic surgery can be a challenging experience.

Hannah Duston is here for you with all of your post-op needs!

The Transitional Care Unit at Hannah Duston offers short-term rehabilitative care for patients who need additional time to transition to home safely after their hospital stay.

Located inside our facility, nurses and therapists will help you return home as soon as possible and function independently at the highest level possible. Your post-operative plan is catered to your surgeon’s protocols, while care is managed by a collaboration of our doctors and your surgeon.

The Transitional Care Unit at Hannah Duston is your place for physical rehabilitation after spinal surgery, or total knee and hip replacement—and these are just a few of the diagnoses we can handle! Call us for more information.

Our Team of Compassionate Caregivers

Our professionals work 24-hours a day to provide the highest quality care. The staff represents a wide range of specialties, including physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and nutritionists. Together, they create a restorative program suited to individual needs and then work to maximize their patients’ potential each day of their stay.

Residents may choose to have their primary physician provide their care. However, if that is not possible, our facility staff will assist in selecting a physician that meets the resident and their families’ approval.

In conjunction with our interdisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, a resident’s physician will develop an individual program of restorative care for each resident. It is our goal to provide all of our residents with an active and fulfilling lifestyle.

We have built our reputation on our quality nursing, medical, and therapeutic team. The care and services they provide not only meet but surpass state and federal guidelines.

Rehabilitation Program

All rehabilitation programs are individually tailored to ensure success. We strive for healthy outcomes. That means using every possible form of effective therapy to accelerate and maximize every resident’s rehabilitation potential.
Rehabilitation programs range from intensive one-on-one therapy sessions to group sessions, including a variety of support groups that allow residents to learn more about their condition, share experiences with others, discuss concerns, and build lasting friendships.

Intravenous and Central Line Program

For some patients, intravenous antibiotic therapy is the most effective treatment for fighting infection. For those patients whose physicians have prescribed intravenous antibiotics as part of their healthcare program, an IV and Central Line program is offered, which allows them to continue their therapy in the comfort of our facility.

Residents are always busy if they choose to be. A representative from the activities department greets each resident at the time of admission to discuss personal interests and hobbies. While at the facility, patients can be involved in their favorite pastimes and meet others with similar interests.
Arts and crafts, physical fitness programs, and discussion groups are all coordinated through the activities department. There are also tea socials, ice cream parties, and cookouts. Outings away from the facility are also scheduled.

They were amenable to little requests

Hannah Duston Healthcare Center Patient Testimonial I was so relieved when my grandmother wound up at Hannah Duston. She had been at other facilities that A: she didn't like or B: I didn't like. The facility was always clean and the staff members were always good to her. They were amenable to little requests, like using special soap for her showers or making her tea off-schedule. She lived in a double room with a roommate. It wasn't fancy, but it was clean and spacious enough for her needs....
