Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital is accredited by CARF, the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission as an inpatient Comprehensive Integrated Inpatient Rehabilitation Program, hospital level, for adults and pediatric family centered care. We offer comprehensive programming for individuals with all types of neurological conditions on both an inpatient and outpatient basis.
- Long Term Acute Care Hospital - for those with very acute onset of illness and/or with lots of medical needs)
- Acute Rehabilitation - for those who are ready for intensive rehab and can tolerate at least three hours of therapy per day
- Rehabilitation Day Program - for those who can be a home or community setting in the evening but require an intense, coordinated program of multiple therapies with an emphasis on independent living and community re-entry during the day
- Outpatient Services - for those who need a single therapy or one of many specialized services
Key components of Madonna's Neurological Conditions Program include:
- Physical & Occupational Therapies: Areas of focus include strength, mobility, spasticity management, transfers, locomotion, seating/positioning, activities of daily living, and instruction in adaptive strategies relating to self-care, mobility, and energy conservation.
- Speech Language Pathology: Areas of focus include communication, oral-motor function, swallowing, and cognition.
- Neuropsychology: Areas of focus include adjustment and coping skills, problem solving, cognition and behavioral management.
- Respiratory Therapy: Areas may include ventilator management (with weaning or long term management), breathing strategies, pulmonary toilet.
- Rehabilitation Nursing: Areas of focus may include pain management, skin management and/or wound healing, bowel and bladder management, education regarding medication management, disease process, etc. and reinforcement of adaptive strategies including mobility, self care and energy conservation.
- Therapeutic Recreation: Areas of focus include leisure skills and community integration training and practice.
Unique Services
- Seating & Positioning: Persons with these diagnoses may require ongoing episodic re-evaluations of their seating and positioning systems as their conditions change so this service should be a routine part of the program, available to both inpatients and outpatients
- Assistive Technology: Many people with these conditions benefit from a wide range of assistive technology, especially augmentative communication devices and environmental control units. This service should be a routine part of the program, available to both inpatients and outpatients.
- Vision Rehabilitation: Individuals with central nervous disorders such as MS, in particular, often experience visual disturbances, and therefore the vision screens as well as potentially the Vision Clinic and Vision Rehabilitation on both an inpatient and outpatient basis should be a routine part of the program.
- Driver Rehabilitation: While more apt to be appropriate on an outpatient basis, readiness to return to driving, driver training, and instruction in use of adaptive equipment, including van modifications, should be a routine part of the program.
- Home Assessments: This service is offered on inpatient or outpatient basis. People with neurological condition's physical needs often change over time, making this is a key service throughout a person's life.
- Structured Independence: It is important for individuals with these types of conditions to stay active, but also exercise safely to slow the progressive decline anticipated as a result of their disease. Learning how and what to do in a community based fitness environment, with trained staff and specially adapted equipment available, promotes success.
