SSM Rehabilitation Hospital 's Day Institute Program offers a specialized, outpatient rehabilitation
program in a flexible full-day format for individuals who can benefit from a comprehensive
approach to recovery, but don't necessarily need rehabilitation in the acute hospital
setting. (See Admission
Criteria and
Advantages of the Day Institute.)
Day Institute Specialty Tracks: The Day Institute has three specialty tracks:
Each track is specifically designed to maximize independence by using remaining
strengths to correct current deficits and teach compensatory strategies. The participant
completes intensive treatment appropriate for their diagnosis, focusing on, but
not limited to: physical, cognitive, communicative, interpersonal, self-care, community
reentry, prevocational, behavioral and psychological changes that occur after an
injury or illness. Each track assists the participant with becoming more aware of
the changes in themselves after an injury or illness and how those changes impact
their lives in home, work, school or leisure environments.
Goals of the Day Institute: The goals of the program are to maximize personal
and functional independence that reestablishes a daily routine.
Therapies
Most participants benefit from a five-day-a-week program, which includes both individual
and group therapies in physical, occupational and speech therapy, therapeutic recreation
and neuropsychology. Since community reintegration is such an important goal of
rehabilitation, specific therapies and activities are designed with this in mind.
Working with therapeutic recreation specialists, participants practice activities
for daily living. To enhance community re-integration, community outings are regularly
scheduled to identify and practice needed skills and mobilities.
Transportation:
To make therapy more accessible and convenient to participants and their families,
the Day Institute offers transportation services to pick up and drop off participants
at their homes, for a nominal fee. (Van is wheelchair accessible.) Services are
based on transport van availability and can be scheduled daily.
