Short-Term Rehabilitation
The Grimes Center is particularly convenient for patients who have undergone joint
replacement surgery, or other inpatient procedure, at the Hospital of Saint Raphael.
However, we warmly welcome patients from any acute care hospital, other healthcare
facility, or from home.
Those admitted directly from the Hospital of Saint Raphael benefit from a coordinated
hospital discharge and rehabilitation admissions process. This allows for individual
attention regarding special needs, equipment, medication and insurance. We pride ourselves
on one-on-one physical therapy and occupational therapy sessions, available seven days
per week as needed. Our dedicated area for short-term rehabilitation patients provides
an added level of comfort.
The Grimes Center is ideal for patients with the following conditions:
- Orthopedic and joint replacement recovery
- Cardiac, stroke and neurological conditions
- Clinically complex medical issues
- Amputation care and equipment
- Respiratory conditions
- Intravenous services
Every patient, upon admission, receives an individualized care plan designed by our
inter-departmental team of professionals.
To arrange a tour:
Please call us at (203) 867-8300 for information about admission.

Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy
Our licensed physical and occupational therapists work with each patient individually in a modern state-of-the-art gym dedicated for short-term rehabilitation. Therapy is available seven days a week. Our therapists, with input from the full healthcare team, tailor customized programs specific to each patient’s needs and rate of progress. One-on-one sessions provide both the time and structure to work and learn at a pace that is challenging, but never too aggressive. This helps to regain physical strength and mental confidence necessary to safely restore independence and return home.
Joint Replacement Rehabilitation
Total hip and knee replacement procedures have become very common. Ask anyone who has been through it and they’ll tell you the surgery is the easy part; the rehabilitation can test both your physical and emotional stamina. Our therapists help patients regain strength, range of motion, balance and coordination. Our clinical and nursing staff tends to surgical wounds, pain management, nutrition and overall health and well-being.
