Inpatient Rehabilitation Services

What makes us different from other rehabilitation providers?

Advanced Care Hospital of Montana is a unique facility in that we are able to provide inpatient rehab therapy and lifesaving critical care support in the same hospital. Following trauma or severe illness, it is possible for patients to receive both levels of care in one location from highly trained staff who are committed to recovery.

  • orthopedic injuries
  • strokes
  • brain injuries
  • spinal cord injuries

In addition, we treat individuals who may have chronic illnesses such as:

  • cerebral palsy
  • ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
  • multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson’s disease

We also treat individuals with:

  • Amputations

How we provide care
Our medical professionals work as a team with our patients and their family members to create individualized treatment plans so our patients can progress at their own ability levels. Our rehabilitation team includes specially trained physicians, nurses, case managers, and occupational, speech and physical therapists – among other medical professionals. It is led by our full-time medical director.

Our healthcare team provides our patients with 24-hour rehabilitation nursing care and daily physician management. Our patients have access to private patient rooms and well-equipped therapy areas. Our therapy area includes a therapy gym with private treatment rooms.

We also offer treatment in our multiple day rooms, which include a daily living suite and a transitional suite. These areas allow patients to practice normal, daily, at-home activities while still under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Some of these activities may include getting in and out of bed, showering, cooking, or doing laundry. In addition, we offer home evaluations to identify any necessary modifications that may need to be made to a patient’s home before leaving the hospital. This helps ensure a safer return to home.

Services we provide include:

  • Rehabilitation nursing care
  • Respiratory care to treat, manage, control and provide diagnostic evaluation of the cardiopulmonary system
  • Speech, memory and cognitive therapy
  • Physical therapy to help with balance and mobility
  • Occupational therapy to help perform daily activities, including guided community outings and home evaluations
  • Wound care to help in the healing, prevention, and management of wounds
  • Neuropsychology that focuses on how the brain and rest of the nervous system influence a person’s cognitive skills and behaviors
  • Prosthetic consults, fittings, and equipment assistance
  • Pain management

Why Rehabilitative Care?

We know that inpatient rehabilitative care is significant to a patient’s healing process.

Patients who receive rehabilitative services often experience positive results in regaining or improving productivity and independence. For example, a recent national study shows that patients treated in inpatient rehabilitation facilities have better long-term results than those treated in skilled nursing facilities. The study, which was commissioned by the ARA Research institute, shows that patients treated in rehabilitation hospitals live longer, have less hospital and ER visits, and remain longer in their homes without additional outpatient services.

These patients:

  1. Returned home from their initial stay two weeks earlier
  2. Remained home nearly two months longer

In addition, patients who were treated in inpatient rehabilitation facilities experienced an 8 percent lower mortality rate and 5 percent fewer emergency room visits per year.
