The Benefits of Inpatient Rehabilitation

Inpatient (in-hospital) rehabilitation has been shown to enhance recovery, helping patients to achieve a higher level of success than other types of rehabilitation programs. Inpatient rehabilitation can assist you in adapting to your current abilities and help you learn new skills so you can maintain as much independence as possible. Patients who complete inpatient rehab benefit from more intensive patient-doctor and nurse interaction, have greater success at recovering lost functions (such as walking independently), and tend to return home sooner.
