Special Services

The Rehabilitation Hospital of Memphis offers several additional services:

Home Assessments

To further promote independence, therapists may visit a patient's home to make physical assessments of the house. They can recommend structural modifications or minor adjustments to accommodate the patient's and family's new needs.

Daily Living Unit

Located within Rehabilitation Hospital of Memphis, this area includes a bedroom, kitchen and bath. Upon the recommendation of the treatment team, the Daily Living Unit is available to patients and their families to practice independent living prior to discharge while the nursing staff is available to help. This learning and practice opportunity builds confidence for the return home.

Community Reintegration

In addition to traditional therapy programs, our therapeutic recreation program provides opportunities for patients to go out into the community to face challenges and try new skills. This program helps patients acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to get involved in social/leisure activities once again, to adjust to community re-entry, to regain decision-making abilities, and to appropriately manage free time. Transportation for community outings is provided in a specially equipped van operated by the rehab staff.
