Your initial Evaluations
-First three days: you will be going through many assessments and evals to determine your current functional abilities.
-These include how you're moving, getting ready in the morning, different challenges in the gym (getting in and out of the car, up and down stairs, etc.)
Team Conference
-Team conference occurs once/week. During this meeting, therapy, nursing, physicians, and CM meet to discuss progress towards goals and your discharge plan. Once the meeting is complete, your CM will update you within the 2 days following conference.
Differences between Occupational, Physical, and Speech therapy

Speech: Primary focus on cognition, speaking, swallowing, and memory.

Call Lights and Alarms
-Call light: We encourage you to use your call light when needed. Please be patient with your nurses and techs!
-Alarms (Bed alarm vs chair alarm and how those can change)
-INDEPENDENT in room: Once you have progressed and therapy feels you are able to be IND in your room, you will go through a "testing process" to make sure you are able to complete all tasks safely. A form will be filled out and signed by therapy, Dayshift RN, and Nightshift RN. Once all requirements have been completed, your bed alarms will be removed and you will be IND in your room.
