Providence Queen of the Valley Medical Center Acute Rehabilitation

Queen of the Valley Medical Center offers a full range of rehabilitation services for patients recovering from a debilitating illness or injury.

Queen of the Valley Medical Center is dedicated to helping you maximize your functionality, mobility and independence after a serious injury or illness.

We partner with you, your family and your caregivers to customize a treatment plan that is best suited for your unique needs. With our Acute Rehabilitation Center walking along your side throughout your journey to recovery, we can create a customized treatment plan to improve your quality of life for years to come.

We understand that living with disease, disability, illness, or chronic pain can be a serious challenge. These things can all take a tremendous toll on a patient, causing emotional, physical, mental, and financial stress. Once treatment has been approved by your insurance company, our team helps to minimize the complications of recuperation so you can recover quickly and affordably. At Queen of the Valley Medical Center, we specifically specialize in caring for adults who are in need of intensive and comprehensive rehabilitation therapies. Utilizing state-of-the-art technologies coupled with care from our distinguished doctors and other members of the rehabilitation team, we provide unparalleled services for our patients.

During your treatment, we ask that you wear comfortable clothes that do not restrict your range of motion. We ask that you or your family/caregivers launder any clothing to ensure maximum comfort and hygiene during your stay. Suggested items to bring include:

The Acute Rehabilitation Center offers a safe and caring atmosphere for patients to learn how to improve independence in self-care, mobility, communication, cognitive skills, and other daily activities. The Rehabilitation team will assess your needs as a patient and develop a daily treatment plan with attainable goals, allowing for a safe discharge home.

It is our intention to discharge you home safely. Discharge planning begins at the time of admission. A case manager or social worker will assist you and your family with all discharge needs including ordering equipment, home care referrals, outpatient therapy or other services offered within the community.

Your family and your caregivers (if needed) are encouraged to take an active role in your recovery and rehabilitation. We ask family and/or caregivers to always consult our team of expert rehabilitation therapists before observing or participating in any treatment session. Some restrictions may be necessary depending on the injury or the illness of the patient. We always warmly welcome visitors and family members during your journey through rehabilitation. See our current visitor policy.

Although many of the services you receive in the acute rehab unit may be similar to services available in a SNF, the intensity of our program is much greater. You must be able to participate in three hours of therapy per day, at least five days per week. In a SNF, your therapy program would be far fewer hours and you may not be seen on a daily basis. Also, in our program you will have physician visits five times a week to monitor your progress and make changes as needed, whereas you may only see a physician once a month in a SNF.

The average stay is just under two weeks, although this can vary on a case-by-case basis. During your initial evaluations, you and your family/caregivers will work with your treatment team to identify both short and long-term goals. Your treatment team, led by your physician, will estimate your duration of stay and track your progress daily until you are ready to move to the next level of care (typically through home health or outpatient therapies).

Family training is an ongoing process and begins early on during your stay with us. Your family/caregiver may be asked to demonstrate their ability to provide the appropriate level of assistance you will need at home. This allows them to take over all aspects of your care for the first 24 – 48 hours after your discharge home.

At Providence, you'll have access to a vast network of dedicated and compassionate providers who offer personalized care by focusing on treatment, prevention and health education.

As expressions of God's healing love, witnessed through the ministry of Jesus, we are steadfast in serving all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable.
