Specialized programs
Your rehabilitation team
You will be assigned a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, called a physiatrist, who will round on the unit every day to monitor your medical issues and to review your progress in your rehabilitation program. The unit also has a dedicated nurse practitioner who will be available for medical questions or concerns.
Rehabilitation nurses work with you frequently throughout the day. They play a critical role in administering your rehabilitation care plan, medications and working toward your independence.
We have a dedicated rehabilitation care management team available to assist with discharge planning from the moment you arrive. This team includes a care coordinator that will assist you in setting up follow-up appointments, a care manager that can establish home health or outpatient therapy after you are discharged, as well as a social worker who can identify additional resources and support if needed.
The physical therapist will work with you on your functional mobility and occupational therapy will be working with you to become independent with your “activities of daily living” such as grooming, hygiene and dressing.
Speech therapy services will assist you with swallowing, communication and overall cognitive skill if needed.
A pharmacist and dietician will be available as resources to you as they provide important information to the rehabilitation team regarding your medication and nutritional needs.
A hospital chaplain is available for all patients upon request and will help meet the needs of any faith.
