Inpatient physical rehabilitation

Our 15-bed inpatient rehab center provides a full spectrum of services. For a minimum of five days a week, you spend three or more hours with our experienced physical, occupational or speech therapists. Families are encouraged to be included in the education process so they can better support you after you transition home.

Our facility uses simulated real-life environments where you practice daily activities, such as navigating the kitchen and getting in and out of a car. These activities help you relearn skills you need in your everyday life.

Our comprehensive care includes:

• Case management
• Clinical nutrition
• Medical management
• Neuropsychological services
• Occupational therapy
• Physical therapy
• Rehabilitation nursing
• Respiratory care
• Speech therapy

Admission criteria

To help patients reach optimum recovery, we provide comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services and a supportive environment. The goal is to restore independence and ensure a seamless transition to follow-up and outpatient care when it's time to go home.

After a physician's order is received, patients are evaluated to determine their physical status and functional ability. Our assessment coordinator can provide on-site evaluations either in the hospital or at your place of residence. Patients accepted to Medical City Decatur's acute inpatient rehabilitation program must:

• Demonstrate the potential to benefit from an intensive inpatient rehab setting.
• Require an inpatient rehabilitation setting with 24-hour rehabilitation nursing care

Our therapy department staff has more than 65 years of combined experience. The team includes physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

Our nurses are specialized in rehabilitation nursing. This specialization means they are trained in the use of adaptive equipment, as well as compensatory techniques to improve self-care activities, mobility and cognition.

Several of our therapists hold specialized certifications that demonstrate their expertise. From certified rehabilitation registered nurses to certifications in neurological developmental treatment and BIG and LOUD for Parkinson's disease, the team is experienced in techniques that will help get to your maximal potential.

To ensure the best possible discharge plan, preparation begins the moment you arrive at rehab. Throughout your stay, we will assess your need for equipment and follow-up services after discharge. A coordinated care plan will be developed to support your life beyond rehab, identifying services that help you maintain and improve your health. You will remain actively involved in the process and will be re-evaluated as needed to ensure a safe and successful transition home.
