Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation in Corbin, KY

Acute inpatient physical rehab is a facility where we do three hours of, various therapies, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, along with, a physician to manage medical issues as well. Patients that we're getting, we're getting referred to generally from other hospitals or from our own hospital. And most of the time, they come in for an issue such as a stroke, spinal cord injuries, and back surgeries. And after their acute care is resolved, then, they're sent to us for rehabilitation.

My son was involved in a severe traffic accident, early in June, and was airlifted to University of Kentucky Hospital, where he stayed there for about three weeks. Then came that time for rehabilitation, In speaking with the professional personnel at University of Kentucky Hospital, Baptist Health had stellar comments, stellar remarks about who they were, what they provided, etcetera. Quite frankly, never been through a rehabilitation. Didn't know what to expect. We were put into a room and literally, the technicians, the professionals just began introducing themselves, making us feel comfortable, making us feel at home, getting us environmentally situated where we were. What made it easy was being close to home, knowing the community. It was an easy decision to make to come to Baptist Health for our rehabilitation.

A great decision.

Patients that we're getting are getting referred [here] generally from other hospitals or from our own hospital. Most of the time, they come in for an issue such as a stroke, spinal cord injuries and back surgeries. After their acute care is resolved, then they're sent to us for rehabilitation.
