In direct response to physician’s request and a clear community need, Kaweah Delta is opening a new 16 bed transitional unit at the Kaweah Delta Rehabilitation Hospital.
Typical diagnoses for patients include hip and knee replacements, hip fractures, pelvic fractures, simple trauma, back surgery such as laminectomy and spinal fusion, and compression fracture. Patients must be 18 years old or older.
The new transitional program is a short stay inpatient program designed to quickly return patients to their home environment. Patients will receive individualized therapy services designed to help them regain their independence. Physician supervision will ensure that the program is coordinated and responsive to each patient’s medical and functional needs. Located within the Rehabilitation Hospital, the unit is staffed by clinicians with extensive rehabilitation expertise.
It is anticipated that the unit will be ready to open early 2009.
