The Rehab Center at Memorial seeks to improve the functional living skills of persons recovering from disabling medical illness or injury through intensive inpatient treatment provided by an interdisciplinary team. Our goal is to help you overcome barriers to safely returning home, and to foster successful return to productive daily activities. The Rehab Center at Memorial is a unique, high quality regional resource. People recovering from stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and orthopaedic trauma are commonly treated in inpatient rehabilitation prior to discharge from the hospital, because this intensive holistic treatment significantly improves long-term recovery. Patients requiring inpatient rehabilitation agree to actively participate in a minimum of three hours of therapy per day.
Family also receive hands-on training in the important skills needed for the transition home.
Patients usually stay in inpatient rehabilitation for about 10 to 14 days, with most receiving additional home-based or outpatient therapy to continue a recovery process which may extend over a period of several months. Because each person participates in an individualized treatment plan, your precise program and length of stay may vary. Another unique aspect of the Rehab Center at Memorial is Independence Square . These therapy modules reflect the places people go everyday, making rehab more realistic, more interesting and more effective. Independence Square s location within Memorial Medical Center, close to our specialized rehabilitation, neurology, and orthopaedic patient care units enhances comprehensive, integrated care.
