The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit is committed to providing the best rehabilitative care possible for patients with chronic illnesses or disabilities.

The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit is an eighteen bed unit located on the 4th floor. Each patient enjoys the comfort of a private room, with certified, well-trained physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers and case managers who focus on providing quality care to every patient during their stay. To achieve this goal, clinicians perform extensive hands-on therapy with emphasis on family involvement. Your stay on the unit will be very active with structured treatment days which make patient and family participation valuable for maximal benefit.

As a family member or primary caregiver your input and questions are valuable and your involvement is encouraged in the care and treatment goals of your loved one.

The department offers a comprehensive slate of services ranging from physical, occupational and speech therapy, to recreational therapy.
