Stroke Rehabilitation on the West Bank
Helping you heal
After stroke, rehabilitation focuses on helping patients regain as much
functional independence as possible in order to restore the highest quality
of life for that individual. It is important to remember that just as
each individual’s stroke is different, each person’s recovery
will be different. Your brain needs time to heal, so progress may take
time. You may need to regain strength, relearn skills, or find new ways
of doing the things you were doing before your stroke.
In order to best facilitate your recovery, your rehab team will tailor
your therapy plan to your individual needs and personal recovery goals.
Your rehab team will include you and your family along with speech, physical,
and occupational therapists, physicians, nurses, social workers, and case
managers. This multidisciplinary team will work together to help prevent
complications, facilitate a safe recovery process, and ensure positive
community reintegration for each patient.
At West Jefferson Medical Center, we offer several options for patients
requiring various types of rehabilitation. West Jefferson Rehab Care is
a 24-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility located on the 4th floor of
West Jefferson Medical Center. Patients will have specialized care with
access to the acute stroke team if needed. Additionally, West Jeff Rehab
Connection provides outpatient rehabilitation services for those patients
who do not require inpatient therapy or who need additional therapy after
their inpatient stay.
