and weekend activities range from community dining, cooking sessions, exercise programs and enjoying games with other guests.

Inpatient Rehabilitation Services

The 16-bed Inpatient Rehabilitation Center provides a full spectrum of services. Six days a week, patients are typically involved in three or more hours of combined physical, occupational, speech and/or recreational therapy. Family members are also invited to be included in the patient education process, given the patients’ pre-arranged consent.

A physician on the hospital’s medical staff develops and leads an interdisciplinary rehabilitation program for each patient. Patients have access to various specialists at Wise Regional as well as advanced technology and hospital services.

Each provider caring for patients in the program is dedicated to creating a positive, safe and nurturing environment. Our goal is
to achieve the highest level of independence for our patients.

Discharge Planning

Once patients have completed their rehabilitation stay, they are evaluated for the need of follow-up services. A coordinated plan of
care for life after discharge is developed and services are identified to help patients maintain and improve their health. Rehabilitation therapy may be continued on a home health or outpatient basis at Wise Regional’s Fit-N-Wise Wellness Center.

The Inpatient Rehabilitation Center is located on the West Campus of Wise Regional Health System.
