Our specialty at Lomita is rehabilitation. We have Rehab physicians who work closely with our in house rehab team as well as our attending physicians. The goal of our rehab physicians is to ensure that each resident achieves optimal rehab levels. We have a proven track record of successful outcomes and pride ourselves in delivering excellent rehabilitation as well as excellent patient care. We provide 24-hour Licensed Nursing Care and are capable of providing IV therapy, hydration, and pain management.
Our rehabilitation services include: Accelerated care plus (ACP): ACP's comprehensive programs assist Physical and Occupational Therapists to treat broader medical conditions by using state of the art advanced therapy techniques. ACP's treatment interventions allow therapists to use modalities that target certain conditions that may not respond to traditional techniques alone. ACP's equipment includes Electric Stimulation, Therapeutic Ultrasound, Short wave Diathermy, and Infrared Therapy. It is important to understand that ACP has been used in orthopedic clinics, outpatient clinics, and for professional athletes. ACP is also the preferred treatment of choice for Olympic and Collegiate teams. We look forward to using ACP on our residents as we guide them to recovery.
