Checking In: Admission to the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Unit (CRU)
Before admission to the CRU, patients are evaluated by the Sarasota Memorial Rehabilitation Liaison or the Medical Director and must meet certain criteria. Some of the factors we consider include:
Diminished function due to injury, illness or disease
Need for specialized care by rehab nurses and physiatrist
Rehabilitation needs for two or more therapies (mobility, activities of daily living, bowel and/or bladder management, cognition, communication, swallowing, etc.)
Physical and mental capacity to tolerate an average of three hours of therapy per day
Potential for successful rehab
A realistic discharge plan (if a patient’s plan is to return home, they must have adequate support after discharge to ensure safety and continued recovery)
Medically stable and have medical conditions that allow participation in a full acute rehabilitation program. Medical problems have been evaluated and determined not to interfere with patient's potential to achieve rehabilitation goals
Medical condition cleared for therapy by an appropriate medical professional
