Our full-service rehabilitation program
Recovery is the next step after you are discharged from a hospital. Being able to go from a hospital to a rehabilitation facility for therapy contributes to overall success. Our hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission and our acute care inpatient rehabilitation unit is an option for your therapeutic needs. You can access care for a variety of conditions affecting mobility and function. Some of the specialists involved in your care may include:
Physical therapy
Health professionals whose focus is to help recover the mobility and function of the lower extremities.
Occupational therapy
Specialists whose focus is recovering the function and mobility of the upper extremities. They also help you adapt or relearn lifestyle skills, such as dressing or grooming.
Recreational therapy
Physical disabilities don't necessarily mean an end to enjoying your favorite hobbies and interests. Our recreational therapists strive to help you stay active in social, church, school, family and volunteer activities. We can help you adapt many leisure skills and provide information about community resources.
Speech language pathology
Physiatrists
Medical doctors who specialize in physical medicine and the restoration or enhancement of functional abilities.
Other rehabilitation services
Our rehabilitation program features the following:
- Access to care — You have 24/7 access to our physicians and emergency services when needed. You also have access to advanced imaging services, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a computerized tomography (CT) scan. Unlike many freestanding rehabilitation facilities, we offer these services on our campus, so you won't need an ambulance transfer.
- Access for family and friends — The rehabilitation unit is located on the third floor of Tower 3, making it easier for your family and loved ones to visit.
- Beautiful, healing environment —You can enjoy majestic views of the Las Vegas strip, the mountains, and some of the best sunsets the desert has to offer.
- Continuum of care — Our acute rehabilitation unit is an on-site department of the hospital, so you will be provided with the same level of expert care that you received during your hospital stay.
- Favorable outcomes —Treatment in a rehabilitation hospital, as opposed to a nursing facility, opens up the possibilities for more positive outcomes. Our therapy team works with you one-on-one, helping you maximize functions.
What to expect from our rehabilitation program
At our rehabilitation unit, you will receive physical therapy and occupational therapy. Doctors may order speech therapy for those who need it.
We provide an intense level of therapy, consisting of at least 15 hours per week — typically three hours of therapy spread throughout the day. We also offer one-on-one treatment sessions personalized to your medical condition and functional limitations and designed to help you meet your goals.
When you're admitted, specialists will evaluate your needs, then develop a customized treatment plan for short- and long-term treatment goals. Our staff will also provide ongoing education to help you and your family understand your diagnosis, promote continued health and prepare you for returning to the community.
Depending on your condition, your doctor may order additional laboratory or diagnostic tests. You will most likely receive medicine from the pharmacy as well.
