Our team will review and assess your patient/family member before admission to ensure your patient meets requirements for Inpatient Rehabilitation. A person maybe admitted from the hospital setting, emergency room, an observation unit, another facility, or directly from home. Admission to Inpatient Rehabilitation does not require a full three-day stay at a short-term hospital.
To qualify for admission, patients must:
- Have medical necessity (conditions that require ongoing medical management)
- Require rehabilitation physician supervision (at least 3 visits per week)
