Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Inpatient Services
Vanderbilt Rehabilitation offers an exceptional inpatient unit at Newport Hospital for those requiring rehabilitative care.
The unit provides intensive rehabilitative therapy for patients recovering from serious conditions, including:
- Neurological including stroke, spinal cord injury, and brain injury
- Cardiac
- Orthopedic and traumatic injuries
- Amputation
- Other serious medical illness
The goal of rehabilitation is to help patients regain lost function so they can live as independently as possible. This could include regaining skills necessary for daily activities; maximizing muscle control and strength; improving balance and mobility, the ability to swallow or eat, speech and communication skills; and minimizing discomfort and cognitive deficits.
Members of the patient’s clinical team participate in the patient’s care throughout treatment, rehabilitation and recovery.
The rehabilitation process is fully integrated into each patient’s total care plan, and therapists work closely with the patient’s physicians.
