National Certification in Stroke Rehabilitation
Lafayette Regional Rehabilitation Hospital is the first hospital in Lafayette and among a select few in Indiana to earn The Joint Commission’s national disease-specific certification in stroke rehabilitation.
Certification is voluntary and given after a rigorous on-site review of the hospital’s practices, programs, and outcomes in treating stroke patients. It is available only to acute care hospitals that are accredited by The Joint Commission.
To get the most successful results for our patients, the hospital promotes family involvement, and follows best practices and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines through our inpatient and outpatient stroke services, resulting in:
- Quicker recovery times for patients
- More patients discharged to home
- More physical and cognitive independence for patients
At the hospital, an interdisciplinary healthcare team works with patients and their family members to create individualized treatment plans so the patients can progress at their own ability levels. The rehabilitation team includes specially trained physicians, nurses, case managers, and occupational, speech, and physical therapists – among other medical professionals.
Our healthcare team provides our patients with 24-hour rehabilitative nursing care and daily physician management. All patients have access to private patient rooms and well-equipped therapy areas, including a 6,000-square-foot therapy gym, an aquatic therapy pool, and a therapeutic courtyard.
Patients can practice at-home activities while still under the supervision of a healthcare professional in our daily living and transitional suites. The hospital also offers home evaluations to identify any necessary modifications that may need to be made to a patient’s house before leaving the hospital to ensure a safer return home.
