We help children and adolescents regain their highest function after an accident, serious illness, or complex surgery. Our rehabilitation nurses and therapists conduct assessments upon admission and throughout the inpatient stay to set goals and measure progress. Families are involved–every step of the way–in helping their child recover. We never say “never.”
Inpatient Rehabilitation Admissions Criteria
Our Children’s Specialty Hospital Brain Injury Program provides high-quality inpatient rehabilitation to children and young adults who are healing from a brain injury.
Our spinal cord injury program provides high-quality care for children and young adults who have experienced a spinal cord injury.
In our Children’s Specialty Hospital we offer two levels of intervention for feeding challenges: Intensive Inpatient and Intensive Day treatments. We also offer a third level of intervention in our Outpatient clinic.
Patients may have substantial healthcare, therapy, and/or equipment needs after complex surgery.
When inpatient rehabilitation is complete, our team coordinates the child’s discharge with the referring physician, insurance case managers, family, school, and community agencies. Staff specialists provide training and education for parents, caregivers, and school personnel, so they never feel like they’re “on their own.”
Our care coordinator and the team will assist in finding medical providers in your area and setting up any medical appointments your child may have during hospitalization and after discharge.
Community transition experiences are encouraged so families can practice therapy activities in real-life settings before going home. The rehab team will help coordinate community outings with specific goals for your child to help build his/her confidence and independence in getting back to community interests and routines.
The rehab team meets regularly with the patient and family throughout their rehabilitation journey to discuss progress and goals. We work with your child’s school to inform them of any special needs and to help with the transition back to school.
Therapists will assess, identify, and recommend appropriate assistive devices and/or adaptive equipment for your child in preparation for discharge to home. The team will seek funding and ensure proper training prior to discharge. The rehabilitation team will educate and train families, caregivers, and school personnel on specific needs, goals, or exercises your child may need in order to be discharged to home.
With outpatient clinics in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, patients have a seamless transition of care after discharge. Therapies and orthotic/prosthetic support—as well as wheelchairs and other durable medical equipment—is provided by the same team of rehabilitation experts for as long as needed.
