What Is Acute Rehabilitation?

What is an acute rehab, is one of the more common questions that a patient is keen to ask. A patient is able to understand best what an acute rehabilitation is by understanding how it integrates with services provided after a patient is released from the hospital.

Acute care facilities are used for patients who need treatment for a serious disease or injury along with constant supervision. In reality, a patient in acute care can be suffering from any of a multitude of issues, ranging from heart attack, stroke, pneumonia or and the exacerbation of COPD. Many patients also require an acute care stay following surgery. These patients can often receive critical monitoring of their medications and conditions, intravenous medications, changes in bandaging/wrappings, and assistance with daily tasks/activities.

A patient is usually left in an acute care unit after surgery. Such patients are still in recovery mode, needing gear for rehabilitation to maximize their range of motion. Besides supervision and walking, physical and occupational therapy might be required up to five times a week for several weeks after their acute stay. After an acute care stay, patients attempting to regain strength and mobility are often challenged to make it to appointments and care for themselves at home.

This is where the post acute rehabilitation centers such as CHR is crucial. It provides patients with a step-down service in a situation where the patient does not need acute care, but is still not ready to go home. Physical, restorative, and occupational rehabilitation is done onsite per the provider’s orders for ease of guest management.

Difficult activities for this stage of recovery such as meal prep, light housekeeping, and laundry can all be done to relieve patient people. Medication and treatment schedules are also coordinated on the provider’s behalf. The main goal of a post acute rehabilitation center is to foster independence in the patient to allow them to return home as early as possible.
