They work in collaboration with the patient’s orthopedic doctor to assure the fastest rehabilitation possible.

• Inpatient rehabilitation
  Patients who need 24-hour physician and nursing care are admitted to our inpatient program at CarePartners Rehabilitation Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina. They participate in a minimum of three hours of physical and occupational therapy each day, designed to promote:
  • Ambulation (getting around)
  • Range of motion
  • Strengthening
  • Self-care ability, including dressing
  • Home safety
  • Homemaking skills
  • Community re-entry
  Patients may also participate in aquatic therapy in our warm-water pool. Aquatic therapy uses exercises and techniques to decrease pain, increase flexibility, strengthen muscles, and manage swelling.
   
  A nurse care manager coordinates the treatment plan. As patients progress in their rehab, care managers also help with the transition from one level of care to another.
