Peterson Rehabilitation Hospital’s Acute Inpatient Unit has served the community since 1974. We deliver rehabilitation services through an interdisciplinary approach by an experienced and competent team of professionals. Staff includes physical, occupational, and speech and language therapists as well as social workers/case managers, and specially trained rehabilitation nurses.  Our rehabilitation physicians direct the interdisciplinary team and as a team collaborate with the patient and their family in every aspect of care. We understand that therapy is hard work and we have built an outstanding clinical team to provide thorough, quality care in pleasant surroundings. Our therapy program is appropriately intensive with treatment being offered 7 days per week to meet a minimum of 15 hours of therapy per week.

 

The team meets twice a week to address the patient’s plan of care, barriers, and progress and potential changes in the plan. The interdisciplinary team meetings are attended by all professionals involved in the rehab plan.

 

Peterson Rehabilitation Hospital is a place for patients to work to achieve their highest level of physical, social and cognitive independence within the community while receiving highly specialized care and attention from competent and compassionate rehabilitation professionals.

 

Patients on the Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit are seen by the rehab  physician a minimum of 3 days a week although the medical physicians see patients more frequently at times and patients are guaranteed 24 hour RN care.
