Questions & answers
How are ADLs different from iADLs?
“ADLs are essential for basic self-care. iADLs are more advanced tasks, like managing bills or cooking meals, that help you live independently at home and in your community.”
How do I practice self-care tasks in rehabilitation?
“In our homelike ADL suites, your therapist will guide you through real-life tasks such as bathing, getting dressed and cooking. These spaces include kitchens, bathrooms and laundry areas to support your recovery in a natural, comfortable setting.”
What is REAL Therapy®?
“REAL Therapy® uses everyday environments—like a mock grocery store, gas station or laundry room—to help you rebuild the skills needed to return to daily life. It includes tasks like cleaning, organizing and even caring for pets.”
What should I expect during inpatient rehabilitation?

How do you qualify for inpatient neurological rehabilitation?
“You may qualify for inpatient neurological rehabilitation if you need a combination of multiple therapies — including physical, speech or occupational therapy — provided in a hospital setting.

Physician approval is required for inpatient neurological rehabilitation.”
