You have a choice in rehabilitation. Let us help determine the right care.
Our Program
Since 1997, the Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit at College Station Medical Center (CSMC) has been dedicated to helping patients who have suffered an injury or illness that limits their daily life activities. We provide rehabilitative care for patients 18 years of age and older.
CSMC’s rehabilitation unit has all private rooms conveniently located on the second floor of the hospital. There is a dedicated gym and training kitchen to relearn the activities of daily living.
The unit is staffed by a multi-disciplinary team of medical professionals with a broad range of therapeutic experience. Our team includes a board certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician, physical therapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation nurses, speech-language pathologists, an activity coordinator and a social worker. Together, they formulate a specialized treatment plan to enhance recovery and achieve the desired outcomes that are required for a successful return to normalized activities.
Weekly rehab team meetings for the patient and family help keep them informed about the patient’s progress and current goals for rehabilitation.
Our Services
We provide care for individuals needing intense inpatient therapy, which is defined as a minimum of three hours of daily therapy for at least five days per week. We also provide complex inpatient patient care with close medical supervision and 24-hour rehab nursing.
