Medication management

We’re here to help you take medications safely and understand how they support your recovery during inpatient rehabilitation

What is inpatient rehabilitation medication management?

At Encompass Health, your care is a team effort. Our doctors, nurses, pharmacists and therapists work together to make sure you’re taking the right medications in the right way—so they help in your recovery.

We closely monitor your symptoms and how medications may affect your movement, thinking and progress in therapy. We also explain what each medication does, when to take it, and how it supports your goals—because understanding your medications is key to gaining independence.

How can medication management help you recover?

Medication management helps you feel more in control of your recovery. Our care team will help you know what to take, when to take it and how it supports your healing process for conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, Multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

Medication reconciliation
Our pharmacy team follows a safety process called medication reconciliation. That means we carefully review all the medications you were taking before arriving and check for possible issues like drug interactions, duplications or side effects. We make sure the medications you take here are safe, helpful and tailored to your current needs.
Diet and nutrition
Your recovery also depends on the right nutrition. Our registered dietitians will create a meal plan that fits your health needs, personal preferences and therapy goals—because feeling stronger starts with fueling your body.
