Rehab-to-Home Recoveries and Long-Term Care
For short-term rehabilitation or long-term skilled nursing, our multidisciplinary approach to comprehensive care in York Place Skilled Nursing & Rehab at Bishop Spencer Place focuses on medical needs, as well as emotional, spiritual and social needs. We embrace this unique approach of blending quality care with resident enrichment provided by a compassionate, highly engaged staff. Our staff-to-resident ratios are significantly higher than both the Missouri and national averages. In fact, we have more than double the Missouri average of licensed nurse staffing hours per resident each day.
Plus, as part of Saint Luke’s Health System we are able to closely coordinate senior care with many of the Kansas City area’s best physicians, hospitals, and specialty health care providers.
We specialize in short-term rehabilitation, discharge planning and returning people to their home. In fact, our return-to-home success rate and hospital readmission rate both consistently trend better than the national average. This is achieved through top-notch, post-surgical rehabilitation services, including physical, speech and occupational therapy – right here at Bishop Spencer Place.
