Typical Day in Rehab
From your first therapy session to your last check-in, our goal is to help you recover as fully as possible. When you first arrive, you’ll be evaluated on activities such as eating, bathing, dressing and walking or wheelchair usage, as well as your personal goal. This information will be used to develop your personalized treatment plan.
You’ll be evaluated again when you leave to measure your progress and help your team assess what help you will need when you go home.
As you recover, day-to-day tasks such as taking a shower or getting dressed may be challenging. Each morning, a skilled care team member will help with these and other daily tasks, as well as provide training and support so you can learn to do as much as possible by yourself.
These personal tasks are known as activities of daily living or “ADLs” and include bathing, dressing and self-feeding. Learning how to manage ADLs is a critical step in regaining your independence.
A nurse will also assist you with your medications. Once you’re ready for the day, you’ll have breakfast before your morning therapy sessions. These typically include two sessions, with a combination of physical, occupational and speech therapies. Therapy can involve strength training, techniques for managing ADLs and memory training. There are breaks between the sessions and as needed during the sessions.
The lunch break begins around noon. Relax and enjoy your meal to help you recover from the morning session and fuel up for the afternoon. Therapists will work with those who need help with swallowing or eating or require trainingfor an adaptive device.
After your lunch break, you will continue your therapy sessions. As with the morning sessions, you’ll have a combination of therapies and opportunities to take a break between or during sessions as needed. If you need to use a cane, walker or wheelchair, your therapy sessions will help you adjust to your assistive device.
Your day concludes with dinner and time to spend with your family or other visitors. Therapy is over for the day and it’s time to relax and spend time in quiet activities. Nursing staff will help you get ready for the night and reinforce what was learned in therapy so that your journey to greater independence continues.
Sleep refreshes your mind and body and your only “task” is to get the sleep you need to be ready for the next day. If you need assistance during the night, use the call light in your room and a nurse will come and help you.

Enhancing the patient experience
