Our Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit focuses on helping patients regain
independence as they recover from conditions such as:
- Stroke;
- Minor spinal cord injury;
- Amputation;
- Brain injury;
- Arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis;
- Neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease, and motor-neuro diseases;
- Multiple trauma;
- Hip fractures; and
- Recovery after complex medical/surgical procedures.
This 31-bed unit was designed to provide patients with the unique
types of care needed after medical treatment for one of these
conditions. Patients may be admitted from home, a personal care
home, or a skilled nursing facility. Our intake coordinator can
assist you with the admission process.

Staff and Services
Our highly specialized staff of physiatrists, nurses and therapists
can work with the patient's physician to prepare a treatment plan that
will help the patient gain optimal functional independence before
returning home. A treatment plan can include physical, occupational, and speech therapies, depending on the
patient's need.
Our nursing staff — including registered nurses (RNs), licensed
practical nurses (LPNs), and patient care technicians — helps
patients get back to daily living, and they involve family members in
day-to-day care. If needed, our nurses help patients learn to use
adaptive and physical rehabilitation equipment such as walkers,
splints, and braces.
