The Way We Work With You
From your initial evaluation to discharge, the goal of the inpatient rehabilitation program is to return you to independent living through the replication or "practice" of your daily activities. After receiving a one-on-one, task-oriented evaluation, our team will work collaboratively to identify your immediate challenges by first understanding your typical daily tasks and capabilities prior to your injury or illness.
Your rehabilitation plan will include a combination of techniques, including balance-retraining, range of motion, strength training and education. Although each person has unique and personal recovery goals, our overarching aim is to help you regain your ability to take care of yourself.

In addition to these tools, the inpatient rehabilitation unit offers patients our Activities of Daily Living (ADL) apartment which is used to evaluate your readiness for independent living.
