What You Can Expect
- Most services are delivered in the outpatient therapy gym, Independence Square®, the Victory Garden, and as needed, the pool, the Seating and Mobility Clinic, and the community for outings. In addition, you can expect the following:
- Average cost of $600 daily, if not covered by insurance.
- The length of time someone is in the program varies from person to person. A typical stay in the program is 4-6 months, with an average of 65 visits of physical therapy and 50 visits of occupational therapy. (2016)
- Therapy 2-3 hours a day, 2-4 days a week.
- Interpreter services are not provided for those with limited English proficiency, but are available for patients who are hearing impaired.
- Goals for each individual patient are established upon admission to the program, and are routinely updated during the patient’s episode of care. Patients are discharged from the program when they no longer require the PT group, no longer have goals for OT and PT, or are no longer making progress towards their goals. In many cases following discharge from the day program, patients may benefit from additional treatment in a traditional outpatient therapy setting. Referrals to outpatient services or other services in the community are provided upon discharge from the Day Program.
