Post Acute Rehab in Wisconsin, Illinois & Iowa; No one does it better – not even in our own company.   

Abbotsford, WI:  Continental Manor

600 E Elm St; Abbotsford 54405

Located 20 min outside of Wausau, just off the highway and easy to get to.  This is a facility that is owned by our parent company; we are the in-house provider of therapy.  Therefore no chance of a lost contract.  This has lead to a sophisticated relationship with the Administrator, Nursing and support staff.  They boast about a site-free survey for the last two years in a row as well as being the recipient of multiple national corporate recognition awards.  The facility is going thru some recent renovations – adding a new ACU, which is under construction and should open up in the next 2 months.  The therapy department is well equipped, including an ADL kitchen and geriatric enhanced modalities (ultrasound, e-stim …), along with a separate entrance for the outpatient clients.  The total number of beds is just under 100 and we are expanding our team.
