Being Admitted To Rehabilitation
Admission to the acute rehabilitation program requires medical stability
in order to participate in about three hours of rehabilitation therapy
per day. Depending upon their medical status and rehabilitation progress,
some patients may transfer between these programs to achieve their
goals.
Your physician can tell you if you’re ready. To ensure medical stability
during your rehabilitation, a physician is available at all times.
What To Bring
We maintain a home-like environment, so patients are encouraged to pack
casual, comfortable clothing:
- Shoes, sneakers and slippers
- Changes of socks
- Changes of underwear
- Changes of shirts/blouses
- Changes of slacks, pants, jogging suit
- Changes of pajamas/nightgowns
- Personal grooming supplies such as toothpaste, hairbrush or comb,
deodorant and shaving equipment (electric preferred)
- Recreation items, such as small games
- Splints, braces or special beds from home, as applicable
- Hearing aid and extra batteries, as applicable
(Please note that the family is responsible for the patient’s laundry.)
Preparing To Go Home
Before discharge, our staff may assess your home setting to be sure it
is safe and supportive of your continued progress. We can advise you and
your family about changes to your home environment that may be required
for your therapy. Each patient has a case manager who coordinates a safe
and smooth transition.
