About Hebrew Rehabilitation Center

Hebrew Rehabilitation Center is the long-term chronic care and rehabilitative hospital of Hebrew SeniorLife, a Harvard Medical School-affiliate and national leader in geriatric research and senior care for all. Non-profit and nonsectarian, Hebrew Rehabilitation Center has been offering a wide scope of clinical services and related programs to seniors in the greater Boston area since 1903.

Our approach to care is built around the concept of patient-and family-centered care. You and your family are involved in all major care decisions. We encourage you and your family to play an active role in helping us make sure that you receive care that is aligned with your values, goals, and preferences.

With locations at our flagship campus in Boston and our NewBridge on the Charles campus in Dedham we provide seniors throughout greater Boston access to high-quality medical care in a therapeutic and healing environment.

Post-Acute Rehabilitative Care & Services

We offer post-acute rehabilitative care to Boston area patients who need services following an illness or surgery. Our Rehabilitative Services Units (RSU) are located on the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center (HRC) campuses in Boston and Dedham. Our Medically Acute Care Program is available at HRC in Boston.

The services at both locations offer rehabilitation that returns patients to independence as quickly as possible. Patients can take comfort in knowing that many acute-care hospitals, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and New England Baptist Hospital, refer their senior patients to us for post-acute care.

Our Harvard Medical School-affiliated doctors, committed nurses, and experienced physical, occupational and speech therapists have deep experience caring for older patients. Our unique, person-centered approach ensures patients and their families take an active role in their therapy and recovery.
