Rehabilitation Care at Regional Medical Center

At RMC, we provide a comprehensive approach to rehabilitative care and physical wellness in both the hospital and outpatient settings. Our Rehabilitation Services team works with each patient to restore, strength, mobility, balance and function after injury or illness has occurred.

Each patient’s injury and recovery is unique and requires individualized assessment and treatment. We recognize that each patient requires specialized, focused, comprehensive care, whether being treated for a one-time problem or for a long-term physical condition. Our rehabilitation specialists provide individualized treatment plans culminating in an emphasis on ensuring that patients restore normal strength, motion and flexibility and reduce pain as quickly and safely as possible.

Acute Care Rehab Services

Acute care rehabilitation services are available for patients during hospitalization. This is generally available if a physician feels that a patient requires a less-intensive level of care but still not quite ready to leave the hospital. The goal is to enhance patients safety and function to prepare for discharge. Our rehab team coordinates with case managers and community partners to recommend the best discharge environment.

These inpatient rehabilitation services include:

• Skilled nursing care
• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
• Speech therapy
• Respiratory therapy
• Education about living with a condition or recovery
