A hospital’s ability to seamlessly adapt to the changing environment enables their inpatient rehabilitation programs to offer a variety of resources and programs that help deliver quality care, reduce readmissions, and improve overall facility operations. These include:

• Daily physician oversight and a multidisciplinary therapy team providing daily therapy tailored to each patient.
• Employing specially-trained Registered Nurses who are fully equipped to treat patients with various care needs.
• Hospital-level infection control measures.
