It is rare to find a pulmonary therapy program that is outside of a hospital setting in the Tampa Bay area. The Renew You program offers a setting in which recently discharged cardiac and pulmonary patients can benefit from a luxury, hotel-style environment as well as 24-hour care allowing he or she to get home as quickly and comfortably as possible.

A pulmonary focused therapy program requires the expertise and commitment of its medical staff. The rehabilitation program at Menorah Manor offers a full-time respiratory therapist, as well as a consulting physician who is board certified in pulmonary medicine and has 26 years of experience in the field. Dr. Warren Abel provides clinical rounding and program oversight to ensure that all pulmonary patients are receiving the best quality of care possible.

Thirty-two percent of hospital discharges to skilled nursing facilities have primary pulmonary or cardiac diagnosis. These diagnoses include, but are not limited to:

• COPD
• Bronchitis
• Asthma
• Status Post Respiratory Failure
• Pneumonia
• S/P Lung Resection
