Physiatry services provide a competitive edge that is often advertised by the skilled nursing facility marketing team to their referral sources, such as hospitals and case managers, etc...
Patients value the additional physician services, often spreading positive feedback through word-of-mouth within their communities, underscoring the enhanced care provided through regular physiatry services.
Physiatrists typically focus on patients with chronic disabling conditions, many of whom may require skilled nursing care. Patients often prefer facilities where their physiatrist practices. At Steady Strides, we specialize in treating patients at risk of falls, many of whom face a high likelihood of hospitalization and subsequent skilled nursing facility care.
