Parkview Rehabilitation Center
Parkview Rehabilitation Center provides a full range of inpatient, therapeutic services and programs for patients age 6 and older.

As an integral part of the care continuum available through the Parkview Stanley Wissman Stroke Center - and working closely with Parkview's verified Level II Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center's, the acute-care rehabilitation center is well equipped to treat patients who have a wide range of neurological conditions and diseases and traumatic injuries.

Committed to providing excellent patient care, the rehab center:

• Is accredited by The Joint Commission
• Has consistently received certification for its comprehensive inpatient, brain injury and stroke programs from CARF, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
• Offers the added expertise of 15 staff members certified as brain injury specialists
• Offers the expertise of nursing staff who are certified rehab registered nurses
• Offers the expertise of therapy staff who are certified in neuro/developmental treatment (NDT)
• Offers the expertise of staff who are certified in the use of VitalStim® therapy for dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing

Parkview Rehabilitation Center offers patients huge advantages over other rehabilitation facilities in the region:

• Location on a dedicated floor inside an acute-care hospital (Parkview Hospital Randallia)
  Any medical services required during the patient's stay – such as CT scans and other diagnostic procedures, wound care or constant care – are all in the same building. The skilled medical specialists of this acute-care hospital are available on site to assist in patient care as needed. If there are critical needs, the rehab physician and consulting physicians will identify the appropriate level of care.
• Continuity of care
  Physicians who have treated a patient prior to his or her admission to the rehab program may continue to participate in care along with the rehab team.

The rehab team includes medical professionals from many different specialty areas. In a well-coordinated process, these physicians, nurses, therapists and other staff members provide intensive therapies with 24-hour rehabilitation nursing care. The patient and family are integral members of the team. This approach helps patients maximize their highest level of ability during recovery from illness or injury.
