Rehabilitation Services
Baptist Village Retirement Communities offers rehabilitation services for a wide variety of health care needs: from accidents and injuries such as fractured hips and strokes, to elective surgeries such as knee replacements, and for other debilitating illnesses. Our rehabilitation services on our Waycross campus are available for in-patient and out-patient as needed. The goal of our rehab team is to facilitate residents in regaining the highest level of independence and safety.
