The Acute Rehab or inpatient Rehabilitation unit works as an interdisciplinary team to provide intensive rehabilitation to our patients. All of our patients receive three hours of therapy a day and has a physiatrist who oversees their care during their rehabilitation stay. The average length of stay is aproximatly 14 days. The therapists are divided into teams (OT, PT, PTA and part of a COTA and SLP). Typically a PT, OT and SLP will meet with the rest of the patients care team each week to collaborate on care and discharge plans.
At the Skilled Nursing Facility , patients are evaluated by the therapist and given an individualized plan of care with varying intensities. Our average length of stay is approximately 11 days. Some of these patients may receive only one therapy or may receive all three therapies. Rounds occur to discuss patients regularly and oversee barriers to discharge. Physicians overseeing their care are typically based out of our facility.
