On a typical day, patients receive a customized daily schedule of therapy and other activities, with rest breaks provided as needed. Throughout the process, we welcome and encourage family members to be involved in therapy sessions and planning conferences. During the initial evaluation phase the patient, caregiver(s) and rehabilitation team develop functional goals, estimated length of stay and discharge date. Then under the medical direction of rehabilitation physicians (physiatrists), we create a personalized treatment plan designed to best meet each patient's needs. Weekly team conferences allow us to evaluate progress and make any necessary plan adjustments for the best possible results.
