Short Term Rehab Questions In this article, you’ll learn about the key offerings your facility should have and do. And, we’ll show you what you can do to make the recovery process faster. Selecting a short-term rehabilitation facility to care for you after a surgery, fall, or other illness is an important process.

Early in 2022 the residents of BayWoods of Annapolis, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), decided we wanted to better utilize our fabulous bay front location on the Back Creek peninsula. The solution was determined to be forming a Yacht Club and providing a variety of water related activities.
