Your Recovery Team

Healing isn’t a solitary pursuit. At LifeCare Hospitals, our teams of physicians, clinicians, caseworkers, families, and patients work together to provide expert, patient-centric care and improved outcomes. We utilize a multi-disciplinary recovery team to make sure our patients are on a path to rehabilitation from the moment they arrive.

 

This multidisciplinary approach helps minimize the likelihood of hospital readmission for patients who may not be ready to return home or move to a lower level of care facility. In addition to a physician, a patient's care team may include:

Nurses

ICU trained nurses specializing in treating medically complex patients; nurses focused on daily, physical care, 24 hours a day

Respiratory Therapist

Clinicians assessing and treating patients with pulmonary-related issues

Physical Therapist

Clinicians evaluating and treating deficits related to walking and balance

Wound Care Specialist

Clinicians managing and treating open or non-healing wounds in conjunction with other complex care needs

Case Manager

Professionals assisting with the transition into and out of LifeCare hospitals that advocate on behalf of patients during their stay and make recommendations and arrangements for any further transition of care following their time with us

Patient Advocacy & Communication

Strong relationships between our care team and patients matter. Healing isn’t a solitary pursuit. Our expert, multidisciplinary team partners with patients and families to develop unique, comprehensive treatment plans to ensure a positive patient experience throughout the journey to recovery. 

We make the following daily commitments to our patients:

  • You will be up-to-date on your progress as you get back to your life

  • You will be treated as a person, not just a patient

  • You’re never on your own with LifeCare. A dedicated care team will be with you every step of the way

 

Families: You Aren’t Alone

At LifeCare, you are part of the team. As patients and families address serious medical decisions, we help guide you in choosing the most appropriate treatment plan to achieve the desired recovery goals in the most comfortable healing environment.

Consider this a collaboration. Every patient has a unique recovery journey, and we serve as part of your team to enable the best possible outcomes.
