A One of the area's most highly respected rehabilitation departments for both inpatient and outpatient therapy is located at the GreenField Health & Rehabilitation Center (GHRC) in Lancaster, which has earned a 5-Star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. GHRC's reputation as the area's premier rehabilitation center is largely due to success stories and ongoing praise from the patients they serve. Many patients have said, "It's the programs and people at The GreenFields that make the difference. I'd never go anywhere else!"

The difference

Staff members are dedicated to helping every patient achieve their highest potential in a holistic manner. They prefer to treat the whole person, not just an isolated injured area. Rehabilitation patients reside in a special wing in the building with easy accessibility to services. There is also an Outpatient Therapy & Wellness Clinic with its own separate entrance.

At the core of both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services is Aquatic Therapy, which allows people to work in a pain free setting. The GreenFields' full-sized pool is a very comfortable 94-degrees, and GreenField clinicians get right into the water to work with each individual, which is not the norm.

Subacute Rehabilitation (short-term rehabilitation)

• Orthopedic rehabilitation

• Neck and back rehabilitation

• Cardiac rehabilitation

• Stroke and neurological rehabilitation

• Motor vehicle accidents

• Injuries/illness

• Arthritis, fibromyalgia & other chronic pain syndromes

Outpatient Therapy

The GreenFields Outpatient Therapy & Wellness Center is located adjacent to the health center. In addition to traditional physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and all the same services provided for subacute patients (above), the following special services are available:

• Aquatic therapy

• Sports related injuries and injury prevention

• Pain management

• Falls prevention, screening, and training

• Massage therapy

• Certified athletic trainers

• Fitness classes

• Sports clinics

• Women's health issues

Pre-habilitation

One not-so-well-known program offered at the Outpatient Center, with remarkable results, is pre-surgical therapy, often referred to as "prehabilitation." Studies and experience at The GreenFields attest to the fact that people who undergo The GreenFields' program prior to joint replacement surgery recover more quickly and easily than other patients who have no preoperative care.

Services and educational tools to help people maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay well are constantly being reviewed and implemented.
