Acute inpatient rehabilitation program | veterans affairs

INPATIENT REHABILITATION PROGRAM The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit resides within Hines VA Hospital and features 24-hour, 7 days per week inpatient care. We house patients in our 10-bed unit

on the 11th floor of Building 200. Therapy gyms are located on the same floor as the nursing unit as well as in other areas of the Hines campus with treatment equipment and activities to

promote functional independence. When patients are unable to attend therapy within the gym areas, therapists will provide bedside treatment to ensure that the patient continues to progress

toward established goals. All patients are seen for initial evaluation and interdisciplinary conferences are held to discuss and document goals (program, patient’s and patient’s

family/support members), progress, and plans. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) outcome measurement system is utilized on admission, discharge, and post-discharge. Other outcome

measures utilized are Patient Exit Interviews. Goals of the program are: to meet the rehabilitation needs of patients with physical and cognitive/communicative limitations that require

inpatient interdisciplinary rehabilitation, to encourage and facilitate maximal independent functioning of each individual based on his or her identified limitations and strengths, and to

promote return to community living. INPATIENT AMPUTATION SPECIALTY PROGRAM Goals of the program are: to meet the rehabilitation needs of patients with major limb amputations, including

pre-prosthetic and prosthetic gait training that require inpatient interdisciplinary rehabilitation to encourage and facilitate maximal independent functioning of each individual based on

their identified limitations and strengths, and to promote return to community living.  OUR FOCUS IS YOUR RECOVERY We aim to give you the tools needed for you to be as independent as
