Stroke
Stroke rehabilitation that connects you to real life skills.
For stroke survivors, rehabilitation is one of the most important parts of recovery.
Stroke rehabilitation
We know that the effects of a stroke are as unique as each of our patients. We also know that many conditions experienced after a stroke respond to specialized rehabilitation. The American Stroke Association specifically recommends intensive, multidisciplinary treatment. We are committed to changing our patients’ lives for the better—that’s why we partner with each of our patients to personalize a treatment plan designed to achieve their goals.
Why choose inpatient rehabilitation for stroke recovery
Stroke rehabilitation at our inpatient rehabilitation hospitals is different. Through our history and expertise in developing and monitoring treatment plans, we’ve discovered the key to success lies in our ability to inspire the confidence needed to move forward after a stroke. We exist to deliver the best care for our patients and are committed to setting the standard in stroke rehabilitation.
At an inpatient rehabilitation hospital, you’ll receive at least three hours of inpatient rehabilitative therapy five days per week. By combining speech, occupational and physical therapy, your team of therapists will work with you on achieving your unique goals. Our functional approach to therapy includes daily activities such as grooming, dressing, cooking, leisure activities and more. Many of our activities of daily living suites are complete with bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms to give you a chance to practice the skills you’ll rely on most when you return home.
We use our advanced technologies to treat patients affected by stroke.

Our nationwide network

Together to End Stroke
In 2019, Encompass Health embarked on a three-year strategic national sponsorship of the American Stroke Association’s Together to End Stroke initiative. By working together, we can show how stroke is treatable, beatable and preventable.
According to the 2016 adult stroke rehabilitation guidelines released by the American Heart Association, whenever possible, stroke patients should be treated at an in-patient rehabilitation facility rather than a skilled nursing facility.
"While at an in-patient rehabilitation facility, a patient participates in at least three hours of rehabilitation a day from physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Nurses are continuously available and doctors typically visit daily. An in-patient rehabilitation facility may be a free-standing facility or a separate unit of a hospital."
