Inpatient rehab is a 20-bed unit housed on the second floor of the Medical Center of South Arkansas. The self-contained facility includes two rehab gyms and activities of daily living (ADL) including a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and a laundry room, as well as a patient dining room and private patient rooms.

Services may include:

• Nutritional evaluation and dietary monitoring
• Patient and family psychological counseling
• Discharge planning for return home

Conditions that qualify a patient for inpatient rehab:
