A continuum of rehabilitative care. A day hospital extends patients' lifeline to the medical center.
Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, IL, carries out its commitment to a continuum of care through the Alexian Brothers Rehabilitation Center and its Physical Rehabilitation Day Hospital. The day hospital treats patients who need rehabilitation but do not need around-the-clock hospitalization. The day hospital individualizes its intensive comprehensive, pulmonary, and arthritis programs. An important component of these outpatient programs is education and preventive techniques to reduce the need for repeat treatment. Only medically stable patients are transferred to the rehabilitation center, where an interdisciplinary team helps them achieve the maximum function possible within the limits imposed by their disabilities. The rehabilitation center sponsors a community support group for young adults who have sustained head injuries and a group for alumni of the center. Through its home healthcare program and its adult day care program, the medical center offers a variety of treatment delivery methods that enhance the center's continuum of care.
