Inpatient Rehabilitation

The inpatient unit of the Rehabilitation Institute at Memorial Health University Medical Center is for people who require hospitalization during their recovery. On the inpatient unit, we focus on abilities rather than disabilities. Our primary goal is to help patients return to a fulfilling, independent lifestyle despite physical limitations caused by an accident or illness.

Rehabilitation is an active process that requires hard work, patience, and determination. Our highly trained team cares for, teaches, advises, supports, and encourages people to reach their highest possible level of independence.

Patients are in therapy seven days a week. We offer educational and social activities in the evening. When appropriate, we also make outings into the community. All of our activities are designed to help patients regain a sense of independence.

Family members are expected to be active participants in the rehab team. We encourage family involvement and teach families how to care for a person with a disability after that person leaves the hospital.
