Skilled Nursing Services Available At Monument Health Group In American Fork 

The four main skilled nursing care programs available for residents at Monument Health Group are:

• Post-hospital care
• Post-traumatic injury care
• Short-term rehabilitation
• Long-term rehabilitation

Individuals may need post-hospital care for several reasons, including the following:

• Need assistance learning to take medications or use assistive devices
• Need assistance to perform routine tasks
• Need medical care to prevent infection
• Need therapy to recover skills

Post-hospital care is suitable for those who’ve developed a chronic illness, needed surgery, or suffered a severe injury. Post-traumatic injury care is comparable, but exclusively focuses on those who’ve suffered traumatic injuries. Post-traumatic injury care patients may or may not have been hospitalized.

Short-term rehabilitation programs offer 24-hour medical care to those expected to fully recover, or be able to adapt to their health condition and manage their health. These patients may return home after treatment. Long-term rehabilitation programs provide nursing care for those whose recovery may take several months, or those who will need to move to a nursing facility that can provide long-term support for their health needs. 

Patients in any of our programs may require one or more therapies to promote their recovery. At Monument Health Group in American Fork, we offer the following therapies:

• Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy involves doing exercises to strengthen fine motor skills. Individuals may need occupational therapy after suffering a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or physical injury.
• Physical therapy: Physical therapy involves exercises that help individuals regain their strength and gross motor skills. During physical therapy sessions, individuals who need walkers, canes, or wheelchairs learn how to use these devices. Physical therapists also help patients manage chronic pain.
• Speech therapy: Strokes and traumatic brain injuries may impair a person’s ability to speak clearly. Speech therapists use exercises to help individuals regain speech, and work with individuals who have difficulty swallowing.
