Features of our complex care program
Complex care teams are composed of doctors and specialists who monitor overlapping symptoms and provide appropriate treatments. They focus on your whole health so that your recovery can be as quick and complete as possible.
Your interdisciplinary team meets weekly to discuss your plan of care, based on your unique needs. Every other week, patients, families or caregivers are invited, so that everyone can prepare for a smooth transition to acute rehabilitation or to return home with home health.
Features of our program include:
- A team of board-certified doctors working together for you — Led by board-certified co-medical directors in internal medicine and physical medicine and rehabilitation, our team also includes specialists in infectious disease, neurology, cardiology and orthopedic care.
- Support from the finest care managers — Your care team is made up of skilled nurses, case managers, therapists (physical, occupational and speech) and case liaisons. They're here the first day of treatment all the way through and after your transition.
- Family involvement in the care process — We participate in weekly conferences, which families and caregivers are invited to attend. Case liaisons also ensure loved ones understand treatment and your progress in the program.
- Private rooms — Complex care is provided on the fifth floor of the hospital, and every room is comfortable and private, offering a peaceful and healing recovery for you and your family during an extended stay.
- Time to recover — Occupational, speech and physical therapies are not limited by time, and you can receive multiple services during the stay. All therapies are coordinated and work as stepping stones to help you fully participate in intensive inpatient rehabilitation if needed.
