What is Physical Rehabilitation?
 Our 10-bed unit offers a full complement of nursing and therapy services for patients who have functional deficits in areas such as:
- Walking
- Endurance

Our Goal
To enable individuals who have experienced disabling conditions to reach their fullest potential for recovery by providing state-of-the-art rehabilitation in which functional outcomes are achieved.
Program Design
The interdisciplinary assessment process begins shortly after admission. The team will assess the patient’s current impairments and determine their functional status. The team will collaborate with the patient and family to establish treatment goals and medical management strategies.
The Rehabilitation Unit includes
- Eight private and one semi-private room with accessible bathrooms
- Therapeutic kitchen, laundry and activity area
- Therapy gym
- Patient dining room
- Transitional living spaces
- Family and patient activity/private dining area
- ADA compliant shower and tub room
Therapeutic Leave of Absence (TLOA)
Patients are encouraged to participate in a TLOA at least once during their rehab stay to determine obstacles encountered in the home environment and ways to work on increasing independence.
Home Evaluations
May be completed by the therapy team to further evaluate potential obstacles.
We are unable to accept ventilator dependent patients, or patients with severe behavioral or emotional disturbances.
- Stroke (CVA)
- Fracture femur/hip fracture
- Amputation
- Neurological disorders
- Major multiple trauma
- Polyarthritis
- Brain injury (Ranchos IV and above)
- Spinal cord injury (T5 and below)
- Complex total joint replacement (hip/knee)
To be considered for admission, patients must meet the following admission criteria:
- Age 18 and older
- Medically stable
- Potential for improvement
- Require a minimum of two different therapy services
- Endurance to participate in a minimum of three (3) hours of daily therapy
- Motivated and cooperative, with a desire to participate
- Have an identified discharge placement with the expectation of return to the community
- Require 24-hour nursing care and supervision by a MD
The Referral Process
Patients are referred from an acute hospital unit, a skilled nursing facility, home, a home health agency, or a physician’s office. Referrals are accepted from healthcare professionals, as well as from patients and family members themselves.
The referral coordinator will complete a pre-admission assessment to determine if the patient is an appropriate candidate for admission. If a patient does not meet our admission criteria, recommendations will be made for services that meet the patient’s needs, based upon his/her level of care and functioning. Our referral coordinator works together with the rehab team and insurance carriers to ensure coverage for needed services. Patients are referred back to their own physician upon discharge from our facility.
