Your family is encouraged to participate as much as possible in your rehabilitation. One of our goals at Shands Rehab Hospital is to return patients to their home, family and community by developing a strong support group. Our approach in rehabilitation allows you to benefit from the skills of a variety of team members. Working closely with physiatrists, therapists, rehab nurses and psychologists, you will learn how to regain control of your life and the ability to perform activities by adapting to changes in your lifestyle. Recognizing the accomplishments of each individual and encouraging each patient to view their illness or injury as a challenge rather than a burden is a part of the recovery process.
