Kindred Hospital Chicago Northlake issued the following announcement on Sept. 29.
You’ve had a stroke or other debilitating injury or illness. You need therapy. And you would like to return home as quickly and as independently as possible.
Most likely, you need inpatient rehabilitation.
If this describes you (or a friend or family member), please read on. Knowing more about inpatient rehabilitation can help ease any concerns and speed your recovery journey.
What You Can Expect
Whether the illness or injury was unexpected, or something you’ve been living with for an extended period of time, you can be assured that your inpatient rehabilitation team will be committed to helping you regain as much independence as possible so you can get back to enjoying everyday life.
During the initial phase of your treatment, you may be asked to participate in a series of evaluations. It is critical that the provider perform a complete assessment because your treatment program will be based on the needs that are identified. In the case of Kindred’s inpatient rehabilitation services, we will need your best efforts during all activities and will keep you informed on how we think you’re progressing.
Most patients will receive a minimum of three hours of therapy each day, at least five days a week. Therapy may take place in both individual and group treatment settings, and sessions will be scheduled for various times throughout the day. The typical stay in an inpatient rehabilitation setting is 10-14 days.
Prior to your discharge, your rehab team will meet with you and your family to discuss any services or equipment you may need after you leave the hospital. We may even schedule a home visit to identify any potential hazards or necessary modifications. You will receive a follow-up call about two weeks after discharge and again at three months to discuss your concerns and to check on your progress.
