Medical Rehabilitation

Patient care – what to expect

Medical rehabilitation can include everything from building strength and endurance training to speech therapy, depending on each person’s needs. This rehabilitation typically takes a few weeks but can take longer depending on each patient’s condition. Our patients benefit from:

• Teamwork between doctors and rehabilitation experts. Close collaboration between your doctors and rehabilitation specialists is a hallmark of our program. This teamwork helps us understand your unique condition and create a custom care plan just for you. We take many factors into account – from age and lifestyle to your personal rehabilitation goals – and build a care plan that meets your exact needs. We also work closely with your doctors from the hospital so you continue to get the medical care you need, while we help you get in the best physical shape to return to your regular routines.
• Specialists in many areas of rehabilitation. Our team of physical therapists, occupational therapists and other experts evaluates each patient from every angle. Then they work together to provide care that addresses all aspects of your health.
• A supportive partner in rehabilitation. When you choose Carolinas Rehabilitation, you’re choosing a team that pays attention to your every need and every detail of your health. We’re here for you throughout your rehabilitation process. Our goal is to make sure you’re in the best position for success when you finish rehabilitation, in terms of medical care, physical ability and overall health.
