Inpatient Rehabilitation

Inpatient rehabilitation services are organized into four diagnostic programs: spinal cord injury, brain injury, stroke, and pediatrics. Other diagnoses admitted include:

• Multiple trauma
• Joint replacement
• Deconditioning
• Amputations
• Other neurological diagnoses

There is one program manager for each team and a director that oversees all the teams. Each program is comprised of the following disciplines:

• Nursing
• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Speech pathology
• Therapeutic recreation
• Social work 

Drivers Rehabilitation, Psychology, and Vocational Rehabilitation are consulted by the team as needed. Patients are admitted under the care of a physiatrist.

Inpatient rehabilitation services are primarily located on the first floor of the hospital. Physical therapy staff and occupational therapy staff share a treatment gym area and a charting/desk area. Speech and social work offices are located adjacent to the OT/PT area. There is an Independence Square for patients to practice functional home and community skills. A therapeutic pool is also located on the first floor. Recreational therapy has a treatment area on the second floor.
