Our inpatient physical rehabilitation program
As an integral part of our care team, our highly trained, experienced therapists work together to develop the best possible treatment plan during your stay.
Our personalized rehabilitation process
We begin with an assessment to review your current physical condition. After initial evaluation, we work closely with you to gauge your progress and make necessary adjustments. Throughout treatment, we also instruct you on how to perform in-home exercises to help prevent injury following therapy.
If you need further care after participating in our program, we will help you safely transition to another healthcare facility.
Comprehensive therapy services
Occupational therapy
Our inpatient rehabilitation occupational therapists will support you in regaining your independence with your daily living skills, such as feeding, bathing, dressing, toileting routines and home management skills. These activities are essential to success within the home and the community. Your occupational therapist will offer modifications and adaptations as well as exercises to increase your overall independence as you return home. You and your goals matter to us.
Physical therapy
Physical therapy in an acute inpatient rehabilitation facility is designed to help you regain strength, balance and mobility after illness, injury or surgery. Physical therapists work closely with occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurses and doctors to support your recovery. Through team-based care, we help you build independence, return home safely and reduce the level of care and assistance needed from family and caregivers.
Therapy sessions may include walking, transfers, stairs, car transfers and training to help you get back to the highest level of independence possible. We are also able to provide treatment for dizziness, prosthetic and orthotic training and recommendations for equipment needed at home such as walkers, wheelchairs and other safety devices.
Speech therapy
Our inpatient rehabilitation speech-language pathologists will evaluate and treat conditions that include:
- Cognitive impairments
- General memory impairments
- Receptive and expressive aphasia
- Swallowing dysfunctions
Our speech and language pathologists develop an individualized treatment plan to support your goals for your discharge home.
Interdisciplinary bedside team conferences
This is a unique and individualized conversation that occurs once per week with anyone receiving our inpatient services. We spend this time to discuss your progress, goals and barriers to a successful return home. In each conference, you can expect to see your physician, registered nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, nutritionist and your case manager. We will partner with you to discuss what equipment and services you’ll need after you leave our rehabilitation center.
