The Reutlinger Community in California has formed a strategic partnership with AFFIRMA Rehabilitation, a  national rehabilitation therapy services provider.

The Reutlinger–AFFIRMA partnership was created to address patient functional outcomes when discharging to the community and offer evidence-based clinical programs to help with fall reduction, contracture management, orthopedic rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary care and dementia.

The partnership will allow for a broader outpatient program and increased focus on the assisted living community, Reutlinger executives said. AFFIRMA will have a lead facility rehabilitation director at The Reutlinger to act as the liaison between all caregivers.
