Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation

As a recognized leader in acute rehabilitation services, we work every day to help patients return to an active lifestyle. Our acute inpatient rehabilitation program is led by board-certified physiatrists with advanced medical training and skills to diagnose and treat functional disabilities that may be caused by injuries, illnesses, or birth defects.

With 24 beds and a high nurse-to-patient ratio, you will get the personalized care that is so important during recovery. Patient rooms are soothing and bright, each complete with a telephone, television, and bathroom. Family and friends can visit in your room, in our spacious family room, or in our dining room during meal times. Here, you will meet and form bonds with others who have similar challenges, and work with experienced professionals to help you meet your goals.

Conditions Treated

Our healing attitude begins in our unique, personalized care setting, and continues with our professional staff who take a holistic approach to total health – physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being.

From the moment you arrive, we are focused on helping you achieve your biggest goal – going home. Our inpatient rehabilitation program provides specialized therapy for any condition that limits participation in daily life.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Team

At St. Joseph Hospital, we understand that rehabilitation is a team effort – involving you, your family, and various rehabilitation specialists. Led by board-certified physiatrists, your rehabilitation specialists meet weekly to evaluate your progress, set appropriate goals, and develop a comprehensive plan to meet your individualized needs.

Admission and Discharge

We accept referrals for admission from physicians, social workers, case managers, other healthcare professionals, family members, and patients themselves. A referral specialist will gather the appropriate details and meet with the patient and their family. A pre-admission committee evaluates the rehabilitation potential of the patient to determine eligibility for admission.

St. Joseph Hospital Inpatient Rehabilitation accepts Medicare, Medicaid, workers compensation, and most major private insurance plans that cover rehabilitation services prescribed by a physician.

Before you leave, your rehabilitation team will make decisions about continuing therapy and coordinate services to be sure returning home is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. If needed, family conferences and home visits are available to assist with a discharge plan.

“Very impressive operation at the St. Joseph Hospital Rehabilitation Center. My wife had a stroke recently with significant impairment to her physical, speech, and cognitive abilities. The progress she has made in 5 weeks under the guidance of staff has targeted skills necessary for everyday living and beyond. We’re impressed and grateful!” – Robert
