Inpatient Rehabilitation Services at Cameron Regional Medical Center

What is Inpatient Rehabilitation?

The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit at Cameron Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is a medically-supervised program designed to evaluate, treat, train, and educate adults recovering from significant health conditions or injuries. Our goal is to help patients regain independence and improve their ability to perform daily activities after experiencing a stroke, amputation, multiple trauma injuries, neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS), or long-term hospitalizations.

Our rehabilitation program provides intensive therapy in a comfortable, homelike atmosphere, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen and specialized training areas. The unit is Medicare-certified and offers comprehensive, results-oriented services in a self-contained six-bed unit with dedicated medical staff.

CRMC’s multidisciplinary team works collaboratively to develop individualized care plans, ensuring that each patient receives personalized, high-quality care aimed at achieving maximum recovery and independence.
