Inpatient Rehabilitation Services

We partner with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, the nation’s No. 1 ranked rehabilitation hospital, to provide inpatient rehabilitation services.

Now, you have access to the best rehabilitation care that’s close to home. Typically, our patients require monitoring 24 hours a day, seven days per week, and cannot function independently, but can participate in a comprehensive inpatient program. Our patients may require physical, occupational and/or speech therapy, and plan to go home (either alone, with family or with some assistance) after rehabilitation.

We offer comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services in several convenient locations throughout southeast Michigan as well as several outpatient rehabilitation locations.

We will also be adding a flagship inpatient rehabilitation location in Detroit in 2029 as part of the Future of Health initiative.
