Often individuals who have experienced a serious illness, surgery, or a prolonged period of inactivity will find themselves in a very deconditioned state and unable to function safely in their home. For many, a few days under the care of a rehabilitation team may be very beneficial in decreasing the risk of falling and helping to assure a safe and successful return home.

The professionals at BAPTIST HEALTH Rehabilitation Institute have the skills, equipment, and facilities to simulate the types of mobility situations that will challenge the patients' in their homes. With fully equipped kitchens, bedrooms, living room arrangements, bathrooms with movable toilets, tubs and showers, we can create situations specific to each patient's home setting which results in efficient training and better carry-over after discharge.
