Physicians Regional Healthcare System Opens Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility
10/7/2022
Physicians Regional North will be expanding services to include inpatient rehabilitation facility. This facility will help individuals recovering from disabilities caused by illness or injuries. The goal is to help patients regain physical and cognitive abilities so they can return home at their highest level of health and independence.
A dedicated healthcare team will provide patients with 24-hour rehabilitation nursing care, three hours of therapy, five days per week, and daily physician management. Patients will be accommodated in 30 private rooms and have access to well-equipped rehab areas.
"The addition of the inpatient rehabilitation facility is a huge win for the Naples community at large,” Nealia Bryant, director of inpatient rehab services says.
Services at the North campus will provide a continuum of care from Physicians Regional and will make for a smooth transition to the rehab services needed in order to safely return home.
“Physicians Regional has a common goal of putting the patient's care first, and the North Campus rehabilitation staff joins that commitment while working towards safety, independence and returning home,” Bryant says.
Physicians Regional’s inpatient rehabilitation facility includes 24/7 physician medical management, three hours, five days a week or 15 hours of weekly therapy (physical, occupational and speech), an average length of stay of 10-12 days, licensed and certified staff, and discharge planning.
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. Our gym is also equipped with a ceiling track system that helps patients walk, balance, practice sit-to-stand exercises and improve posture.
The Rehabilitation Hospital 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 include getting in and out of bed, showering, cooking or doing laundry.
In addition, Physicians Regional offers home evaluations to identify any necessary modifications that may need to be made to a patient’s home before leaving the hospital. The hope is for all patients to get the tools and resources they need to ensure a safe return home and for continued recovery.

- Stroke
