Benefits of inpatient rehabilitation facilities

Stroke rehabilitation at our inpatient rehabilitation hospitals is different. Through our history and expertise we strive to inspire the confidence to move forward after a stroke. We aim 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 therapy five days a week. Your team of speech, occupational and physical therapists will work with you on achieving your unique goals. Included in our therapy are daily activities such as bathing, laundry, cooking, personal hobbies and more. Our hospitals contain activities of daily living suites complete with bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms to practice the skills you’ll rely on most when you return home.
