Your child’s recovery is a path you travel together.
Our CARF certified inpatient rehabilitation program is designed to guide your child toward healing and helping your child achieve their best quality of life. The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a private, non-profit international organization that establishes standards for quality, value, and optimal outcomes of services. CARF is a catalyst for improving the quality of life of the persons served.
Through our CARF certification, we are committed to:
- Continuous improvement of service management and delivery
- Diversity and cultural competence
- Inclusion of the people we serve in development and application of our standards
We currently hold CARF certification for both comprehensive integrated inpatient rehabilitation and pediatric specialty programs. Our program has been CARF accredited since 1999.

A team of child experts
- Physiatrists are present on hospital campus for daily rounding as well as weekly conferences. This allows access to physicians for collaborative decision making among the team and family.
- Registered dietitians work with the care team to ensure the unique nutritional needs of each patient are met. They provide guidance and education for patients and their families while in the hospital and as they prepare to return home.
- Along with the team members involved directly with each patient, patients have access to professionals of other disciplines that offer further services as appropriate
- Joy Rx: provides music and instruments to room as well as therapy
- Child life: provide emotional support and help families and children to develop coping strategies. Child life specialists help explain medical jargon to kids and prepare them for procedures, they provide support and education to siblings, and they engage kids in developmentally appropriate play to help lessen the trauma that children may feel from being hospitalized.
- Chaplains: provide spiritual care throughout hospitalization as desire by families/patients
- Pet therapy: therapy dogs have appointed times to visit the unit as well as the rehab gym
- Respiratory therapists: Respiratory therapists allow our team to serve patients with advanced airways (such as patients who have tracheostomies and/or are dependent on ventilators) as well as work toward trach and vent weaning. Our program is unique in our ability to not only serve this population, but to also allow therapists to take patients out of their room and off unit with advanced airways.
A modern and supportive environment
- In-house wheelchair seating clinic with specialists to supply patients with custom wheelchairs when needed
- Unique spaces for treatment to best meet the needs of each patient
- On campus garden spaces
- Ability to go off campus at appointed times with therapists to practice community skills as well as trainings with family/caregivers for day passes to prepare for successful discharge
- Technology:
- Use of functional electrical stimulation (including RTI FES bikes and the Xcite), body weight supported gait training, visual rehabilitation tools, and adaptative and augmented communication tools.
