Inpatient Rehabilitation Providers Near You

Inpatient rehabilitation is appropriate when someone needs intensive, supervised therapy that cannot be managed at home or in a standard nursing facility — most often after a stroke, major surgery, or a serious injury. Patients must be medically stable enough to take part in and benefit from an intensive program, which generally means tolerating about three hours of therapy a day, five days a week (often called the three-hour rule). A physician evaluates whether the person is likely to make meaningful functional gains.

Medicare Part A covers medically necessary care in an inpatient rehabilitation facility when a doctor certifies that the patient needs intensive therapy, ongoing medical supervision, and coordinated care from a rehabilitation team. Such care typically follows a hospital stay, and the standard Part A deductible and coinsurance can apply just as they do for other hospital admissions. Medicare will not cover an inpatient rehab stay when a person only needs less-intensive therapy that could safely be provided in a skilled nursing facility or at home.

Start by asking the hospital discharge planner or physician which facilities specialize in your loved one's condition, since outcomes are often better at programs experienced with strokes, brain injuries, or specific surgeries. Compare Medicare certification and quality data on Medicare.gov's Care Compare tool, ask about the intensity of therapy and the staff-to-patient ratio, and confirm what discharge planning and follow-up support look like. Touring the facility and talking with the care team can help you gauge whether it is the right fit.
