Overview of Elkhorn Valley Rehabilitation Hospital

Elkhorn Valley Rehabilitation Hospital is a 41-bed skilled nursing and inpatient rehabilitation facility in Casper, Wyoming, located about 8 miles from the city center. Operated by Elkhorn Valley Rehabilitation Hospital, LLC, under administrator Connie Longwell and director of nursing Tamara Thomson, the community focuses on short-term therapy for adults recovering from serious injuries, illnesses, or complex medical conditions.

Clinical care centers on inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient services, and a Transitional Outcomes Program designed to support safe transitions home or to another care setting. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provide on-site support, and the 41-bed capacity allows for individualized recovery plans.

The facility maintains an occupancy rate of approximately 68 percent, with 28 of its beds filled. Because the location has a Walk Score of 0, residents and visiting families require a vehicle for daily errands. The on-site therapy programs and skilled clinical support position this facility as a specialized recovery environment rather than a long-term residential home.

Prospective representatives looking for a dedicated short-term rehabilitation setting in the Casper area can contact the hospital to learn more about the admissions process and coordinate a visit.
