Admission Criteria

In general, patients may be admitted to RHCI when they meet the following criteria:

• They need to be seen by a physician at least every 2 – 3 days.
• They are able to participate in approximately 3 hours of therapy a day. With patients who are extremely weak or ill, therapy begins at their tolerance level and increases as they gain strength and function.
• They have the potential to improve in function and independence as a result of their rehabilitation.
• They are 15 years of age or older. In some cases, RHCI can obtain a waiver to admit younger adolescents.
