CarePartners Rehabilitation Hospital: A Typical Day
 
How will you spend your days at CarePartners Rehabilitation Hospital?. Our goal is helping you return to a life that’s as productive as possible. That means working with you to regain strength and the highest degree of function and independence achievable.
 
At least three hours of intensive therapy every day.
CarePartners inpatients must be able to participate in at least three hours of intensive rehabilitation activities per day. The specific types of therapeutic activities are based on individual rehabilitation goals, and change as the patient progresses.
 
For most patients, therapy starts first thing in the morning, as you get ready for your day. Your rehabilitation nurse or an occupational therapist will help you with “Activities of Daily Living,” or ADLs, which include getting dressed, grooming, and having breakfast.
