Levi Rehabilitation Unit
The Levi Rehabilitation Unit,
located on the fifth floor, was established as a cooperative effort between Levi Hospital and St. Joseph's Mercy Health Center in August of 1995. Patients who
have completed the other phases of their care, but are still not able to return
home come to this unit for further care. This proximity allows patients an
easier transition from other hospital units when they are ready for
rehabilitation.
At the Levi Rehabilitation
Unit, patients work to regain or adapt their previous capabilities and
learn new skills in an atmosphere of warmth and dignity. Patients become part
of the rehab team that works toward returning them to the highest level of
function possible.
The Levi Rehabilitation
Unit provides rehabilitation after stroke, head injury, orthopaedic surgery,
amputation and other diagnoses. Our team of rehab specialists includes a psysiatrist
(physical medicine specialist), rheumatologist, a neurologist, physical therapists,
occupational therapists, recreational therapists, speech therapists, nursing,
social services, and a dietitian. Other services are available on an as needed
basis.
