The patient's program is planned by an interdisciplinary team of rehabilitation specialists. The team is lead by a physiatrist, a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Every patient has a unique rehabilitation program with specific goals and a discharge plan. The program is adapted to meet individual needs, goals, abilities and life-style of each patient.

The rehabilitation team recognizes that the primary care physician is important for the overall medical care of the patient. While the rehab team is responsible for the patient's therapy during the program, the primary care physician or his or her designee will follow the patient's medical care as often as the complexity of the patient's medical problems necessitate. That's why we work with the physician, providing reports and updates to enable the physician to follow up on the patient's progress.

Patients meet frequently with a social worker or RN case manager who is the liaison between the patients, the rehabilitation team and the patient's family. The case managers provides guidance in obtaining information on everything from insurance, equipment needs in preparation for discharge and follow-up home care or outpatient therapy. Families are encouraged to become involved so they understand the problems to be overcome and to help the patient continue treatment at home.
