Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs)
Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs) are specialized hospitals that provide intensive, multidisciplinary rehab services to patients recovering from serious injuries, surgeries, or illnesses such as strokes or traumatic brain injuries. These facilities are designed to help patients regain independence and improve their physical, cognitive, and functional abilities through tailored therapy programs conducted by a team of healthcare professionals. IRFs typically require patients to stay for a set period and participate in daily therapy sessions, aiming to support a safe and effective recovery process, often preparing individuals to return home or to a less restrictive care setting.
