Medical/Surgical Rehabilitation

 

Our inpatient occupational therapists work with adults who have experienced a change in functional abilities when admitted to our medical/surgical floors. Patient diagnoses may include:

  • Acute infections
  • Cancer
  • Dementia/delirium
  • Gastric bypass surgery
  • Heart or lung disorders
  • Surgical interventions

Occupational therapy during your hospital stay

Our inpatient therapists evaluate and treat functional limitations and needs related to:

  • Activities of daily living, including self-care and home-management skills
  • Cognitive (thinking) impairments, including problems with memory, attention, or judgment/safety
  • Home safety needs
  • Improving your mobility and teaching you how to move around safely in your normal environment (e.g., in and out of bed or the bathtub, on and off of chairs, etc.)
  • Recommendations and training in the use of equipment to help you complete your usual tasks
  • Upper-limb exercise programs
  • Visual and perceptual impairments that affect your daily tasks

Education for both you and your loved ones is a critical component of occupational therapy. Family/caregiver involvement is particularly important in our Therapeutic Activities Program for individuals with dementia who are at risk for delirium. Research has shown that therapeutic activities can be effective in reducing the incidence and severity of delirium in acute-care settings.

Our occupational therapists also play an important role in assisting with discharge planning needs. When appropriate, we can refer you to continued occupational therapy services to ensure your continued recovery and improved function after your discharge from the hospital.

Our inpatient service hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
