Inpatient Rehabilitation
Our 20-bed Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit provides compassionate rehabilitation nursing care combined
with intense therapy.
Our goal is simple: to help our
patients lead a more independent life following an
illness or injury. Conditions often treated include
stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury,
neurological impairments such as multiple sclerosis,
multiple traumas, amputations, orthopedic
conditions, as well as many others.
When patients are referred to us, they are
considered by their doctors to be medically ready
and physically able to begin a comprehensive
rehabilitation program consisting of at least three
hours of therapy a day, five days a week. |
Inpatient Rehab Outcomes
We are accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.

Therapy may take place alone or with a group.
Sessions will be scheduled for various times
throughout the day. All therapy programs are
designed to meet your needs.
The team
The inpatient rehabilitation team is committed to
improving the function of each patient so they can
live as independently as possible. You and your

team. Led by a doctor with special training in

Family involvement
We encourage family members to be involved in
your treatment. In addition to providing moral
support, family will be asked to take part in therapy
sessions to learn techniques to help you after you
are discharged. We ask you and your family to
attend a weekly meeting to talk about your goals,
the progress you’ve made and your plans for
leaving the hospital.
What to expect

On the rehabilitation unit personal clothes are
worn throughout the day. Your therapy will require
comfortable clothing and shoes. Please bring:
Loose fitting shirts or sweatshirts (3-4)
Loose fitting slacks or sweatpants (3-4), elastic
waistbands will be the most comfortable

during your first visit. Personal clothing needs to
be washed by a family member or caregiver. A
washer and dryer are available on the unit.
Remember to bring all necessary personal items
such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, cosmetics and
toiletries. You may also wish to bring pictures or
other reminders of home, a calling card, or hobby
items, such as books, puzzles, and crafts to help
you adjust to your new environment.

Cell phones are ok to use on the unit. Each room
has a phone. The nurse can help you use the phone.
There is a toll-free number that family members
may use to ask about your condition. Computer

Room with a view
The rehabilitation unit overlooks the banks of the
Mississippi River. Nearly all patients enjoy a private
room with a tranquil view.
Visiting hours
The rehabilitation unit offers expanded and flexible visiting hours to meet the needs of our patients and their families. In addition, we work with you to accommodate "rooming in" requests.
Your next destination
Discharge planning begins when you are admitted to
our rehabilitation unit. The rehabilitation team will
work with you and your family to make plans for
home care or other nursing services, medical
equipment, outpatient therapies or other community
resources.
After leaving the rehabilitation unit, many of our
patients are able to go home.
