You will see a rehabilitation physician daily, typically in the morning, as you start therapy. You and your family are encouraged to ask questions and discuss any concerns you might have about your medical care or the rehabilitation program with the physician or physician assistant who provide 24-hour coverage of the rehabilitation center.
Therapy Schedule
You will have an individualized therapy program that will include physical therapy, occupational therapy and possibly speech/language pathology, recreational therapy, and neuropsychology. Most sessions will be one-on-one, while other sessions may be held in a group setting. While the number of therapy sessions you have each day will depend on your special needs, you typically will receive at least three hours of therapy five days a week. Therapy programming may be modified on the weekend. Therapy services are available from 7 a.m. until dinner time. You will be scheduled for therapy sessions throughout the day. In addition, your schedule may include rest breaks. Your schedule will be posted in your room daily.
Team Conferences
Your treatment team meets weekly to discuss your progress, set goals, review potential barriers to your rehabilitation progress and plan your discharge date. Results and follow up from the team conference are discussed with patients and families by the social worker.
Education
Education is an important part of the rehabilitation program. Caregivers and close family members are encouraged to attend therapy sessions with you to offer support and learn how to help you at home. Your social worker will work with you to schedule these sessions.
You also will receive a personal “Health Resource Notebook” that contains:
- A checklist to help you identify your own educational needs.
- Information on how to advocate for yourself with healthcare professionals, such as tips on talking with your doctor to get the most out of your appointment.
- Information materials about your condition.
Immediate family (spouse, parents, children, significant others) and caregivers may visit to observe therapy or participate in family education, subject to current hospital policy/guidelines. Visitation from extended family and friends should not interfere with your therapy schedule and rehab recovery process.
Discharge planning begins at or before the time of admission. Work closely with our transition of care team to plan for and coordinate discharge so you or your loved one experiences a seamless transition home or to another level of care.
The majority of our patients experience a planned discharge after achieving their rehabilitation goals. However, you also may leave the program if you become ill, are unable to make progress toward your goals or decline to participate.
