Through effective therapy and compassionate care, Providence Acute Rehabilitation Center (PARC) helps patients:
Regain self-confidence
Improve functional skills
Achieve maximum physical, cognitive, language and psychosocial skills
Achieving Success through Teamwork
Teamwork is key to successful recovery. At PARC, patients are at the center of the team.
With their doctors’ guidance, patients set goals for recovery. The referring doctor and a physiatrist (a doctor specially trained in physical medicine and rehabilitation) oversee each patient’s therapy.
In one-on-one therapy and group sessions, the PARC staff helps patients achieve their goals.
Families make up an important part of the recovery team. The PARC staff understands that families and patients are often concerned about changes in lifestyle, roles and responsibilities that can result from major medical events.
They help the family prepare for the patient’s homecoming. They also teach the family how to care for their loved one while respecting his or her independence and dignity.
A Foundation for Independence
PARC helps patients focus on their abilities rather than on their disabilities.
The continuity of care provided by PARC throughout the recovery process creates a solid foundation for independence. Before patients are discharged, PARC arranges for ongoing medical care or outpatient therapy as needed. The patient’s referring doctor supervises any ongoing medical care.
The Admission Process
Patients may be admitted to PARC following referral by their primary care physician and an eligibility evaluation by a PARC physiatrist.
PARC welcomes patients who have functional limitations in two or more of these areas:
Mobility
Bowel and bladder continence
Personal care activities
Pain management
Cognitive-perceptual functions
Other factors affecting eligibility include the patient’s medical stability, level of functional skills, and ability to participate in and benefit from three hours of therapy daily.
