Villa Springfield Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center hosted an open house on Wednesday to showcase its new rehab unit.

The new unit is a remodel of an existing hall that has 26 beds with both private and semi-private rehab suites. The rooms are modern with built in closets and drawers and televisions mounted on the wall with a swivel arm.

Michele Hemphill, marketing director, said the new unit is “answering the call from the Springfield community.”

“People in the community shared with us that not only are they looking for a facility with a stellar reputation of giving excellent care but also a level of comfort and amenities while they stay for rehab,” she said.

“It has been a challenge to say the least for our industry fighting COVID, so we decided to start new with a remodeled area,” Hemphill added.

Villa Springfield offers rehab for everything from joint replacement, recovery after surgery or an accident or illness.

Hemphill said the new unit is “luxury and homey all at the same time.”

“It is a new remodel with the feel of a luxury hotel. The community wanted luxury and comfort and we believe this new remodel will not disappoint. Half the battle when recovering from a surgery, accident or illness is to be comfortable where you go for recovery,” she said.

Villa Springfield offers physical, occupational and speech therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiac rehab, and specialized programs.
