Cascades provides both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care in Delray Beach, all under one roof. Recovering from surgery, illness, or injury? Our short-term rehabilitation program is designed to get you back on your feet quickly and safely, with therapy often starting within 24 hours of admission. For patients with more complex or ongoing medical needs, our long-term skilled nursing services offer the same clinical expertise with 24/7 support. Proudly serving families throughout Florida and Palm Beach County, our team is here to guide you through every stage of recovery.

Our inpatient rehabilitation programs include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy seven days a week, backed by skilled nursing services such as wound care, IV therapy, and medication management.

Conveniently located in Delray Beach between Boynton Beach and Boca Raton, our rehabilitation center serves patients throughout Palm Beach County, including those discharging from nearby hospitals such as Delray Medical Center and Bethesda Hospital East. We’re an ideal choice for families searching for short-term rehabilitation close to home.

How soon after admission does therapy actually begin?
Most short-term rehab programs, including those like Cascades’, aim to start therapy within 24 hours of admission, with sessions offered up to seven days a week depending on your individualized care plan, so recovery isn’t delayed by paperwork or intake logistics.

What’s the difference between short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing care?
Short-term rehab is time-limited and goal-focused, designed to get you strong enough to return home after surgery, illness, or injury. Long-term skilled nursing, by contrast, supports ongoing daily care needs indefinitely. Cascades offers both, so residents can transition between levels of care within the same community if needs change.

Will Medicare or my insurance cover my stay, and for how long?
Coverage depends on your specific plan and how you progress through therapy, insurance-approved days and criteria vary by case, and the facility typically communicates coverage updates with you or your designated caregiver throughout your stay. It’s worth confirming your specific benefit period and any deductible responsibilities with admissions before arrival, whether you’re at a nursing home, an ALF (Assisted Living Facility), or transitioning between the two.

What should I actually pack for a short-term rehab stay?
Beyond the obvious essentials, it’s generally recommended to bring only 3-4 days’ worth of comfortable, light clothing and supportive shoes, not a full wardrobe. Valuables like jewelry and large sums of cash should stay home, and items like space heaters or extension cords typically aren’t permitted for safety reasons.

What kind of follow-up happens after I go home?
A good rehabilitation program doesn’t just discharge you and disappear. At Cascades, we offer structured post-discharge support such as a nurse follow-up call within 24-48 hours of returning home, plus continued outpatient therapy access with the same clinicians who treated you as an inpatient.
