Family and work situations are altered. Lifetime plans may be disrupted. Rehabilitation becomes a transition for individuals and their families - a time to put the pieces of their lives back together, physically and emotionally. At the Levi Rehabilitation Unit, patients work to regain or adapt their previous capabilities and learn new skills in an atmosphere or warmth and dignity. The economic incentives for rehabilitation are increasing as the medical care and disability costs continue to escalate.
Studies show that for every dollar spent on rehabilitation, the savings are considerable.
The personal incentives from rehabilitation are even greater. The Rehabilitation Team Teamwork is integral to rehabilitation. Each patient at the Levi Rehabilitation Unit is treated by a team of licensed specialists including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, recreational therapists and speech pathologists. Each patient is also an active member of the team. To achieve success, rehabilitation requires a united effort by the patient and the care providers.
