The Inpatient Acute Rehabilitation Unit at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center is dedicated to patients who have experienced a significant decline in function and who need and tolerate an intense multidisciplinary approach for their recovery. Depending on your diagnosis, the multidisciplinary team may include:
We work hard to help all patients reach the highest possible level of recovery, assisting the patient to regain and maintain independence. We also teach patients alternative techniques, when deficits remain, to perform daily tasks necessary to live successfully and safely in the community.
RehabTracker is a person-centered mobile app that allows us to better engage with our patients and their families. Patients can view their personalized goals, see and track their progress in real time, share that progress with invited family and friends, and receive messages of support from loved ones – all from the palm of their hands.
Occupational Therapists help you resume activities of daily living (ADLs). We’ll help you return to life roles that have been interrupted by injury or disease. You’ll learn effective methods of approaching ADLs differently, including use of special equipment for lower body dressing, managing medication in the presence of declining memory or thought processes, and retraining to manage loss of hand or arm function due to stroke or other disabilities.
If you suffer from or have an increased risk of developing lymphedema, chronic swelling of the arms, legs, trunk, or head and neck, our Certified Lymphedema Therapist will help manage your condition through Complete Decongestive Therapy, which may include manual lymph drainage techniques, compression wrapping, skin care and exercise.
Our skilled Physical Therapists help rehabilitate and provide education to prevent disability following disease, injury, surgery, or loss of limb. We work hard to improve your strength and mobility by developing a treatment plan custom designed for you. We use therapeutic procedures to stretch and strengthen muscles and encourage return of motion. Our goal is to restore maximum movement and function to help you return to the lifestyle you desire
The goal of rehabilitation nursing is to assist individuals with disabilities and/or chronic illness to attain and maintain maximum function. Our rehabilitation nurses help patients and their families manage concerns like pain, skin care and bowel and bladder deficiencies during a stay on the rehab unit.
Rehab nurses teach and encourage patients to do as much as they can on their own with the goal for patients to do a little more each day.
Our certified and licensed speech-language pathologists are trained to evaluate and treat disorders that affect your speech, language, cognition and swallowing. Using personalized treatment plans we help you restore or improve your communication abilities and your cognitive function.
Our Speech Therapists are specialists in the evaluation and rehabilitation of swallowing disorders. If a patient’s condition requires it, the Speech-Language Pathologist or Physician may recommend a Modified Barium Swallow Study for diagnostic evaluation of swallow function.
