We expect rehabilitation to enhance ability, minimize disability, improve the quality of life and upgrade the individual s ability to function independently. Patients admitted to the Physical Rehab Unit receive a thorough evaluation of needs, and goals are established by a team of professionals including nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language specialists, dieticians, and any other disciplines needed. A physiatrist, who is a doctor specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation, heads the team. A complete treatment plan is developed with each person utilizing personal and family strengths and resources to achieve a maximum level of wellness. The Physical Rehab team meets weekly to review and plan treatments and care.
Most patients continue their therapies as out-patients.
Evaluation for in-patient rehabilitation services is available upon referral.
