Frequently Asked Questions

A rehab hospital specializes in providing acute medical rehabilitation for patients who will benefit from an intensive, multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. Patients receive physical, occupational, speech and/or respiratory therapy as needed, and are medically managed by specially trained physicians.

Patients length of stay is longer than that of a traditional hospital. Many patients may be discharged to a rehab hospital for continued rehabilitation needs once their complex medical needs and procedures have been addressed/completed at a traditional hospital.
