Acute inpatient rehabilitation services
Patients who need daily therapy and 24/7 medical care can benefit from our acute inpatient rehab facility (IRF). Our IRF provides the intensity and level of care necessary to overcome the physical and functional challenges caused by serious medical conditions and trauma.
Acute inpatient rehab can benefit patients in several ways, including:
- Being discharged from the hospital at a higher function level
- Regaining functionality in a shorter amount of time
- Increasing the likelihood that patients will return home after being released
Why patients choose acute inpatient rehab facilities over skilled nursing facilities
As an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), we're able to provide a higher level of rehabilitation than a skilled nursing facility (SNF) can provide. In fact, our inpatient programs provide each patient with nearly twice as many hours of therapy per week than is provided in an SNF. Unlike an SNF, we provide:
- On-site emergency care
- Rehabilitation led by a rehab physician specialist
- 24-hour care and daily consultation with physicians
- One nurse for every four or five patients, compared to 15 to 20 patients per nurse in SNFs
- At least three hours of therapy a day, 5 out of 7 days/week or 15 hours over seven days
- A well-rounded, experienced multidisciplinary team approach
- Outcomes measured against other programs across the U.S.
- Average length of stay of 12 to 14 days, with more than 75 percent of patients returning to home or to assisted or independent living communities.
