Inpatient rehabilitation treatments
Before your care begins, we work with you and your family to complete a comprehensive evaluation, establish realistic rehabilitation goals and develop a discharge plan. All patients are under daily supervision by a physician specially trained in rehabilitative medicine and have around-the-clock rehabilitation nursing care.
Physical therapy
Physical therapy focuses on restoring function, managing pain and increasing coordination, stability, strength and endurance through the use of therapeutic exercises and rehab procedures. Our goal with physical therapy is to prevent, correct or relieve a disability and improve function.
Physical therapy treatments may include:
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapy helps patients regain daily function and self-care skills so they can participate in everyday activities in the home, school, workplace, community and other settings. Whenever possible, the ultimate goal is to return the patient to the level of function they had before the onset of symptoms.
Occupational therapy treatments may include:
Activities to establish or restore daily living skills or compensatory techniques
Assessment and treatment for visual impairment
Design, fabrication and application of a splint
Family training
Perception, cognition, and psychosocial treatment
Procedures to promote and enhance safety
Sensory motor integration program
Wheelchair management
Speech and language therapy
Speech and language therapy is used to evaluate and treat speech-language, communication, cognitive and swallowing disorders. After a stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurological disorder, these skills may be affected and specific therapy to regain these skills is necessary. The goal is to maximize abilities in eating, drinking, communication and cognition.
This therapy may include a swallowing evaluation done at the bedside or in the X-ray department. Treatment may include diet modification, oral motor exercise, and training in techniques used to compensate for a deficit, weakness or injury.
Restorative dining is available for therapeutic assistance during meals. We also offer specialized assessment including a modified barium swallow study, communication and cognition evaluation, and treatment of speech, language and cognitive function.
Therapy may also include:
Activities to improve intelligibility, comprehension, verbal expression, reading, writing, memory, attention, planning and organization
Community re-entry training matched to the individual’s needs
Group settings therapy sessions
Individual therapy sessions
Oral motor exercise
Support services
For many patients, the road to recovery goes beyond the physical rehabilitation. We offer supportive services to aid in the recovery process, including:
Nurse case management
Nutrition counseling
Psychological counseling
Social work
