Helping You Get Your Independence Back
Inpatient Rehabilitation Program
Our program helps those with a disabling injury or illness achieve an optimal level of independence. Structured therapy sessions are designed to meet each person’s special needs and goals with a minimum of three hours of therapy daily. Patients must have a need for at least two of the following types of therapy: physical, occupational, and speech, and require medical management by a physician and nursing staff. Clinical social work interventions are scheduled for all patients as well. There are 10 private rooms on the unit giving each patient a comfortable stay. For more information on the acute inpatient rehabilitation unit, call 618-899-2772.
