Acute Rehab

The Lima Memorial Health System Rehabilitation Unit functions in an environment of encouragement, and support, helping patients become as independent as possible. Patients and their families work together with a treatment team to prepare for the realities of daily living by developing a personalized rehabilitation program. LMHS Rehabilitation Unit is a CARF accredited unit.

We treat people who need intense therapy so they can return home or move to an assisted setting. This includes people with neurological problems such as stroke, head injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Guillian Barre, and Parkinson's Disease. Our patients also include those with amputations, orthopedic injuries, and multiple trauma.

We provide patients with complete medical and nursing care, all rehabilitation therapies, and support services. These include:

  • Individual rehabilitation plan of care to help meet your goals
  • Weekly team meetings to evaluate progress and set discharge dates
  • Family training to prepare for discharge
  • Real life practice of daily activities
  • Animal assisted therapy
  • Our team consists of the medical director, Dr. Kurt Kuhlman, D.O., rehabilitation nurses, social worker, and skilled therapist from occupational, physical, speech, and activities coordinators. We have the support of dieticians, pastoral care, and psychology as needed
  • Patients receive individual therapy in a gym, in the community dining, community reentry therapy, and we practice entering and exiting vehicles using your own vehicle
