Acute Rehabilitation Services

• Collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of case managers/social workers, nurses, and physicians. Our physical, occupational, and speech therapists work with an experienced interdisciplinary team to initiate bedside physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy services for our patients and their caregivers. Our goal is to maximize function, facilitate the healing process, and assist with discharge planning to help patients receive the most appropriate next level of care.
