Our team of physicians, nurses and other clinicians are highly trained to diagnose and treat critical clinical issues. Our services and team bring peace of mind and prompt medical treatment not available in a free-standing rehabilitation center.
Whether you’re rehabilitating from injury, recovering from stroke, or have experienced a significant medical event, we’ll draw on proven therapies to help you reach your highest potential.
Why choose us
Every patient in our UCHealth acute inpatient rehabilitation facility receives a comprehensive treatment plan individualized to his or her specific treatment need and ability. Our rehabilitation team works with patients through an intensive daily therapy schedule focused on measurable improvements and the return of functions such as mobility, balance, activities of daily living, cognition, speech, and swallowing.
During the rehabilitation stay, patients are admitted to the inpatient rehab unit, located within Memorial Hospital Central. Length of stay varies for each individual; patients are typically admitted for a minimum of 5 days, and up to several weeks for certain injuries/conditions. Because our inpatient rehabilitation unit is located within Memorial Hospital, our patients have immediate access to other important clinical services on-site, such as medical, surgical, imaging, respiratory, and laboratory services. Our team of physicians, nurses and other clinicians are highly trained to diagnose and treat critical clinical issues.
Patients receive a combined 3 hours of therapy per day, at least 5 days per week. This includes at least 2 disciplines: usually physical and occupational therapy, and may also include speech therapy if indicated. We conduct therapy sessions in a comfortable setting designed to build skills and increase your ability to live independently. Rehab specialists develop personalized treatment programs for each patient.
