Physical therapy
Walking, balance, stairs and strength after surgery, a fall or a long illness.
Medicare Part AShort-term rehab · Waxahachie, Texas
Home stronger, before the myrtles bloom.
Physical, occupational and speech therapy up to six days a week, private suites and nurses around the clock, in the heart of Ellis County. Most of our guests are home in two to three weeks.
Why Crape Myrtle
Rehab is a short visit, not a new address.
Everything here is pointed toward the front door. Your therapists ask on day one what home looks like: how many steps up to the porch, where the bathroom is, whether there's a grandbaby to lift. Then that's what we practice.
Between sessions, rest in a private suite with your own bath, order from a real menu, and let our nurses manage the medicines and the wound care. Your job is getting stronger.

Notes from former guests
I had my knee replaced in April and was dreading rehab. Kayla made me laugh every session, and on day fifteen I walked out to my daughter's car with a cane.
Dad had a stroke and couldn't button his shirt. Brittany worked with him every day in the practice kitchen. He's making his own coffee again.
The private room made all the difference. I actually slept, and that meant I had energy for therapy.
Janet had the home health nurse, the walker and the shower chair all lined up before Mom came home. Nothing fell through the cracks.
Ramon called me every evening to tell me how my wife's day went. I live in Ennis and couldn't visit every day, so that meant everything.
The therapist came out to our house before I went home and moved half my furniture. I haven't tripped once since.
I toured before my hip surgery and knew exactly what to expect. Best decision I made all year.
