Our rehabilitation specialties
Our skilled specialists work closely with doctors and caregivers to provide the best possible integrated treatment plan for you. We offer inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services, including physical, speech and occupational therapies. We also offer outpatient therapy for wound care and specialized rehabilitation services for children.
Physical therapy
Our physical therapists work with you and your doctors and caregivers to restore your mobility and decrease your pain. Physical therapy may include exercise, pain management and vestibular and balance retraining. Physical therapy is often used to help alleviate orthopedic conditions and neurological conditions as well as help you recover from surgical treatments.
Speech therapy
Our speech pathologists evaluate, diagnose and treat speech, cognitive, communication and swallowing disorders. We help you recover your speaking, eating, listening, reading, thinking and writing skills. We also help you recover from surgery.
Occupational therapy
Occupational therapists guide and instruct individuals with physical and developmental conditions to help them learn how to live independently. Skilled treatment helps you relearn activities of daily living through the use of adaptive equipment, sensorimotor skill training and exercise.
Occupational therapy often helps with neurological conditions and injuries as well as hand and upper extremity injuries and disorders.
Swing bed
Recovering from surgery or an injury can be challenging for you and your family. While your doctor may feel you are ready to leave a hospital's acute care setting, you may not be quite ready to go home. Swing bed, recovery and rehabilitation, provides quality care close to home.
As a rural, critical access hospital participating in Medicare, Lafayette Regional Health Center (LRHC) is able to participate in a swing bed agreement through CMS, which provides a unit for post-acute hospital skilled rehabilitation care. Swing bed services are available for Medicare patients needing rehabilitative therapy services following orthopedic surgery, IV therapy, stroke rehabilitative patients, COPD and a few other conditions, depending on diagnoses.
The team at Lafayette Regional Health Center understands these recovery situations and is prepared to help. Our hospital offers a comprehensive range of recovery and rehabilitation — more commonly known as “swing bed” — services to help you return to an active and productive lifestyle after an event such as surgery, injury or hospitalization for an illness.
Our swing bed program offers:
- 24/7 hospital-grade nursing care
- A strong level of communication and partnership with physicians
- Consultation by a certified licensed dietician
- Daily visits by LRHC staff members who will work with your doctor to monitor your progress
- Nurses with specialized training in infusion, IV therapy, wound care, rehab and all other aspects of swing bed care
- The swing bed team at LRHC is committed to the highest level of care for the friends and neighbors we serve to return them to home as soon as possible.
