Your length of stay in inpatient rehab will depend on your medical condition, therapy goals, and how quickly you progress. Some patients stay a few days, while others may need several weeks of care and therapy to regain function and independence.
For instance, a person recovering an infection that caused significant weakness may stay just long enough to rebuild basic mobility and self-care skills. Someone who has experienced a brain injury, complex surgery, or multiple traumas may need a longer stay to address more intensive physical, cognitive, or functional challenges.
From day one, your care team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. They’ll assess your abilities, track your improvement, and adjust your therapies as needed. Each week, your team meets to review your progress and determine the safest, most effective timeline for your discharge.
You and your loved ones will always be kept informed, with the goal of helping you return home — or move to the next level of care — safely, confidently, and at the right time for your recovery.
