Alegent Creighton Health Immanuel Rehabilitation Center in Omaha offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient physical rehabilitation services designed to restore function and help patients recover to their fullest extent.
Comprehensive Inpatient Program
Alegent Creighton Health Immanuel Rehabilitation Center, the region's most comprehensive center for physical medicine and physical rehabilitation offers services to help patients reduce physical and cognitive limitations caused by conditions such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, multiple trauma and strokes. A team of licensed and certified rehabilitation professionals is available at every level of care, from inpatient hospitalization, to acute rehabilitation, outpatient therapy and wellness programs. Each rehabilitation program is designed to maximize independence and quality of life and delivered in a warm and caring environment.
Physical Rehab Facilities
Immanuel's already state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation center has added a spacious fitness facility and a specially-designed, warm-water pool with a moveable floor for inpatient and outpatient aquatic therapy. Another highlight of the renovation is a high-tech Kinesis circuit training system, which helps patients of all abilities improve their strength, balance, coordination and flexibility. And because the system is ceiling- and wall-mounted, it also can be used by patients in wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Kinesis allows therapists to get better information to make treatment more specific to the deficit each patient has.
Physical Rehabilitation Care Team
Each rehab. patient is assigned a coordinator who works closely with the patient, family and care team to provide a coordinated rehabilitation experience. Other physical rehab. team members may include: a doctor of physical medicine (physiatrist), physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist, recreational therapist, a physician specializing in rehabilitation medicine, rehabilitation nurses and a rehabilitation neuropsychologist and chaplains.
Family Involvement
We recognize that the rehabilitation process also affects the patient's family. Family support is an integral part of the recovery process and we encourage their active involvement. We also believe it is important for family members to understand their loved one's recovery process, so we offer educational, neuropsychology, and support services to assist families.
Transitioning to Other Levels of Care
After the inpatient physical rehabilitation stay, the patient may require services that are addressed at a different level of care. We assist with the transition to the next step in recovery. Follow-up treatment may range from skilled care, transitional living and home health services to outpatient care. A physiatrist monitors the patient at intervals that are appropriate to assess his health care needs. Typically 75% of inpatients are moved to a community living environment.
