Its rehabilitation team works with doctors, specialists and skilled nurses to develop an outcome-based plan for each patient.
The approach considers the full continuum of recovery: the transition into rehabilitation, progress during therapy, preparation for discharge and the return home. Rather than rushing patients through a standard timeline, therapists help each person work toward milestones at an appropriate pace.
