Day Rehabilitation Program

Day Rehabilitation Program

Spalding's Day Rehabilitation Program offers comprehensive rehabilitation services on an outpatient basis to patients who have diagnoses including, but not limited to:

  • Neurologic disorders from stroke, brain injury  or spinal cord injury
  • General debilitation
  • Multiple Sclerosis, Guillian Barre and other neuropathies
  • Multiple trauma

Day Rehabilitation Treatment

Treatments are tailored to the specific needs of each participant. This could be 2-5 days per week and 4-6 hours per day. Accommodations will be provided for rest and relaxation as needed.

Community reintegration activities are provided through a transdisciplinary approach to assist the participant to resume interactions with their community, work, leisure, friends and family.

Our structured and supervised setting provides opportunity for patients/caregivers to identify problem areas in the home and practice solutions in a supportive and safe environment.

Day Rehabilitation Goals

Our goal is to assist the patient to regain optimal physical, communicative and functional abilities. Activities are provided throughout the day to complement the participants' nursing and therapy goals.

  • Provide a continuum of care for persons who have been diagnosed with a disabling condition and are currently experiencing complication from illness or disability
  • Decrease the inpatient length-of-stay
  • Assist participants to regain optimal physical, communicative, and functional abilities
    Reduce complications associated with immobility
  • Lessen severity and frequency of exacerbation and to decrease emergency room visits and hospital admissions
  • Support and educate patient/family/caregiver about the disability, coping and recognizing early signs of complications
  • Decrease length of outpatient therapy program
  • Community reintegration

 

Family Participation

The Day Rehabilitation Program Staff recognizes that illness or disability can affect the entire family. Family and/or significant others are encouraged to attend therapy sessions and patient/family conferences to learn about changes and specific needs of the patient.

Meals & Medication

Nutritional meals are provided daily in the Day Rehabilitation Program. Participants are welcome to bring sack lunches, if preferred. Assistance is provided with medication administration as needed. Medication administration is coordinated with patient and family with a goal of self-administration, as appropriate.

Education

Group and individual education and support for patients/families and caregivers can facilitate increased awareness of disability-related complications.
