Within the first 24 hours

Within the first 24 hours of your stay in our rehab hospital, your therapy plan starts with meeting the treatment team.

 

Together, we review your personalized treatment goals and discuss how we will achieve them together.  This becomes your individualized plan of care and will include specifics on your daily schedule. 

​

Your assigned Case Manager is your advocate upon admission and a member of the treatment team. Your Case Manager monitors your progress on specific goals and discusses the goals daily with the treatment team.
