Rehab & Short-Term Recovery
Expert rehabilitation in a private, five-star environment — because how you recover matters as much as where.
PREMIER PLACE AT THE GLENVIEW
Recovery, Reimagined
Recovery is not just a clinical process. It is a deeply personal one — and where you recover has a direct impact on how well and how quickly you get there. Premier Place offers short-term rehabilitation in an environment that is genuinely exceptional: 42 private suites, chef-prepared dining, therapy up to six days a week, 24-hour licensed nursing, and a clinical team with the expertise to get you back to the life you love.
As a preferred provider for local hospitals and physician groups across Southwest Florida, Premier Place is a trusted destination for post-surgical and post-acute recovery — and pre-registration is available for those planning ahead.
Short-term care at Premier Place bridges the journey from hospital to home — helping you regain your strength and stamina so you can return home safely to a robust quality of life.

A Record of Excellence
Premier Place has earned some of the most meaningful distinctions available to a rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility — and has maintained them consistently, year after year. In 2026, Premier Place achieved a Perfect Survey rating with zero deficiencies — a rare achievement in the industry.
OUR TECHNIQUE
Rehabilitation Therapies
Our rehabilitation team delivers physical, occupational, and speech therapies in a dynamic on-site therapy gym — with individualized programs designed around each patient’s specific goals and recovery timeline. Patients receive therapy up to six days a week, with a holistic approach that treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Physical Therapy
Targeted physical therapy to restore strength, mobility, and function — including balance training, gait analysis, and vestibular rehabilitation. Our physical therapists build individualized recovery plans focused on returning patients to their prior level of activity.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps patients regain the skills needed for daily living — from dressing and bathing to cooking and driving. The goal is independence, and every plan is built around what matters most to the individual patient.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy addresses communication, cognition, and swallowing difficulties that can follow stroke, neurological events, or surgery. Our licensed speech therapists develop individualized programs to support full recovery.
What Sets Us Apart
Areas of Specialization
Premier Place has developed deep expertise across a range of rehabilitation specializations — from orthopedic recovery to complex chronic disease management.
Specializing in joint replacement and fracture recovery — including hip, knee, and shoulder procedures. Our orthopedic program is designed to get patients moving safely and confidently as early as clinically appropriate.
Comprehensive rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke and other neurological events, focused on restoring function, communication, and independence through coordinated therapy.
Structured recovery programs for cardiac and pulmonary conditions — including post-cardiac event recovery and COPD management — with clinical oversight at every stage.
Specialized programs for stroke, COPD, CHF, diabetes, and pain management — designed to support recovery and long-term wellness for patients managing complex conditions.
Continue Healing On Your Terms
One of the most significant benefits of recovering at Premier Place is what happens after discharge. When a patient is strong enough to return home, they can continue their rehabilitation therapies at Premier Place on an outpatient basis — working with the same therapists they already know and trust.
By continuing to work with the same therapists you already have a strong bond with, you maintain a continuity of care and accelerate your progress. Our team treats you like family.

THE PREMIER PLACE EXPERIENCE
A Recovery Environment That Makes a Difference
Premier Place is a five-star facility in every sense — not just clinically, but in the day-to-day experience of every patient. The environment is bright, elegant, and designed to reduce stress and restore confidence.
42 Private Suites
Every patient stays in a private room with a full bath — because recovery is easier when you have your own space. Bright, elegant, and designed to lift spirits.
Therapy Up to 6 Days/Week
Intensive therapy scheduling — up to six days a week — designed to accelerate recovery and get patients back to the life they love as quickly as possible.
Chef-Prepared Dining
Fine dining — the same culinary standard as The Glenview’s acclaimed dining program. The Director of Dining speaks with each patient personally about their preferences.
24/7 Family Visiting Hours
Family and friends are welcome around the clock. Recovery is better when the people you love can be there — any time, any day, no exceptions.
Golden Paws Therapy Dogs
Regular visits from Golden Paws therapy dogs — a small but meaningful part of restoring not just physical strength, but emotional well-being.
Licensed Nurses, 24 Hours
Registered nurses on staff around the clock. Clinical oversight is always present — not on call from elsewhere, but here, in the building, every shift.
“The food here is cooked to order and is so fresh and well presented. The Director of Dining speaks with each patient about their preferences and will make whatever you would like. I’ve been here for 3 weeks and I’ve never been served the same entrée twice. I would definitely recommend Premier Place to anyone that needs rehabilitative care.”
— Julia Thompson, Premier Place Patient
