Your Home for Healing
The WVU Medicine Fairmont Medical Center Skilled Nursing Unit provides short-term care after a life-changing illness or injury. We are committed to helping patients get back to what matters most, providing inpatient rehabilitation after stroke, fractures, falls, weakness, and post-surgery conditions, as well as other complex neurological and orthopaedic conditions.
A Bridge from Hospital to Home
Our patients receive compassionate care from an expert team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists; respiratory therapists; physicians; nurses; dietitians; pharmacists; case managers; and additional caring staff who work together to create a plan to help patients meet their personal goals.
Physical and Occupational Rehabilitation Services
Our therapy staff members work to address physical, sensory, and cognitive conditions. They focus on daily living activities, such as eating, feeding, bathing, and using the bathroom, as well as mobility, standing, sitting, and moving around independently. They can also help patients with learning how to rethink, concentrate, and organize ideas and tasks.
Care When You Need It
Staff members are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our nurse practitioners are onsite every day of the week, along with frequent visits from our physician.
A Team-Based Recovery
Our goal is to help patients feel better physically while making sure they’re comfortable and an active partner throughout the treatment plan. Our experienced clinical team works diligently to get to the core of each patient’s injury or condition to help them recover and stay healthy.
