Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility
Physicians Regional Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility is now open to provide rehabilitative service to people recovering from disabilities caused by illness or injuries. The facility is located at the North campus and has 30 private rooms. We help patients regain physical and cognitive abilities so they can return home at their highest level of health and independence.
Common medical conditions and injuries treated at the inpatient rehabilitation facility:
The dedicated healthcare team provides patients with 24-hour rehabilitation nursing care and daily physician management. Patients have access to 30 private patient rooms and the facility's well-equipped rehab areas. The therapy areas include a 1,585 square foot gym equipped with an interactive touch screen therapy device that works to improve hand-eye coordination, reaction time, depth perception and working memory for patients with a variety of neurological conditions. The therapy system offers diverse training programs that improve visual motor activities, visual and auditory processing, cognitive skills and endurance training. The gym will also be equipped with a 20 foot ceiling track system which helps patients walk, balance, practice sit-to-stand exercises and improve posture.
The rehabilitation center also offers treatment in multiple day rooms, which include a daily living suite. These areas allow patients to practice normal, daily, at-home activities while still under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Some of these activities may include getting in and out of bed, showering, cooking or doing laundry. In addition, we offer home evaluations to identify any necessary modifications that may need to be made to a patient's home before leaving the hospital. This helps ensure a safer return to home for continued recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I know if I am eligible for services at Physicians Regional Rehabilitation Hospital?
The first step is to contact your case manager or social worker and ask them to make a referral to Physicians Regional Rehabilitation Hospital for an evaluation. An evaluation can also be requested by a patient or family member by calling the admissions office at (239) 304-4102. A nurse clinician will evaluate you to see if you meet admission guidelines based on Medicare or insurance guidelines. A physician will also review your evaluation to determine appropriateness for admission.
Q. Can I schedule a tour of the Rehabilitation Hospital to see if it is the right fit for me or my loved one?
Yes! Please call the admissions office at (239) 304-4102 to schedule a tour or stop by at any time.
Q. Will I be able to tolerate an intensive rehabilitation program?
Our program is designed to provide a minimum of three hours of therapy a day at least five days a week. For some patients, the 15 hours of therapy may be spread out over seven days. In either case, the program is tailored to meet each patient's unique needs. Studies show that early intensive therapies result in better outcomes.
Q. Will I have therapy on the weekends?
The program is designed to provide at least three hours of therapy per day, at least five times per week. Some patients may have medical tests or procedures that limit therapy time during the week. To ensure each patient receives the full benefits of the program, lost time may be made up over the weekend. Most patients have some weekend therapy at some point during their stay. The need for weekend therapy is based on individual need and the interdisciplinary team's recommendation.
Q. Can my loved one stay with me and participate in my therapy?
We encourage family and caregiver participation in the rehabilitation process. This means family members and caregivers are encouraged to visit and help patients adjust to their new environment. Family members and caregivers are encouraged to help patients complete the training required to ease back into living at home. There are also times when patients may need a more focused approach without distractions. The interdisciplinary team will help make this decision.
Q. When can I go home?
Each patient's diagnosis and functional progress varies. The interdisciplinary team will complete an initial evaluation and work with the patients to develop treatment goals and determine an estimated discharge date. The team will meet weekly to make adjustments to the plan based on patient progress. Just before discharge, the case manager and nurse help to coordinate additional care needs, such as physician appointments and ongoing therapy.
