Inpatient Rehabilitation
For over eight decades, Roosevelt Warm Springs has provided a comprehensive style to medical rehabilitation. This unique hands-on approach provides careful medical management and individualized services for RWS patients, enabling them to return to the most independent lifestyle possible in their homes and/or communities.
The Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital serves individuals who require 24-hour rehabilitation nursing care and intensive rehabilitation. Utilizing an interdisciplinary team approach, an individualized treatment plan is developed and becomes the key to the rehabilitation success. Team members work to achieve as many patient goals as possible in the least amount of time.
