Entering an inpatient rehabilitation program can feel overwhelming if you’re unsure of what to expect. The goal of South Arkansas Regional Hospital’s Inpatient Rehab program is to provide a supportive environment to promote healing following an acute illness or accident that can lead to a decrease in mobility. We help you regain strength, restore function, and transition smoothly back to everyday life.
Daily Routines and Activities in Inpatient Rehab
Throughout the day, you’ll participate in multiple therapy sessions tailored to your needs, which may include:
- One-on-one therapy, where each patient works individually with a therapist or PTA/COTA to focus on personal rehabilitation goals. Each patient receives three hours of therapy five days a week to ensure targeted and effective treatment.
- Physical therapy benefits to enhance mobility improvement, flexibility, and endurance
Occupational therapy to refine essential daily skills such as dressing, bathing, and cooking
Specialized treatments such as speech therapy or pain management techniques.
To balance activity with recovery, scheduled breaks for meals, rest, and relaxation are incorporated into your routine. This structured approach ensures that therapy remains effective without causing excessive fatigue.
