Post-Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation
Post-Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation is typically for people who go from the hospital to a rehabilitation center, where they’ll work with a therapy team for parts of each day, and then rest and enjoy the center’s activities for the remainder of the day.
What to Expect During an Inpatient Rehabilitation Stay
At Monterey, you’ll receive physical, occupational, Respiratory Therapy, and Speech and Language Pathology based on a care plan tailored to your needs by a team of experienced therapists and medical professionals.
Here’s an outline of what to expect when you stay with us:
- An initial assessment is completed upon admission. Assessments last 30-60 minutes, while therapists discuss your level of function prior to admission and evaluate your current status.
- A plan of care will be established centered on your personal goals and functional abilities.
- Therapy is offered up to seven days a week, based on your individual needs and physical condition. Therapy sessions are generally 30-90 minutes in length per discipline.
- Therapists work with an interdisciplinary team that includes your physician to monitor progress and make recommendations to maximize your recovery.
