Our Rehab Team

Our Rehab Team

Because rehabilitation is our specialty, each member of the Hillside team develops a deep understanding of the problems and healing patterns of a particular disorder.

Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital’s caring, professional staff members possess a deep understanding of the problems and healing patterns of a particular disorder. They know the best ways to help our patients achieve their highest potential, so they can lead the most independent, productive life possible.

Our physician-directed team of rehabilitation specialists works together to design and monitor a treatment program to meet each patient's needs. The team may include:

  • Physical therapists

  • Occupational therapists

  • Speech/language pathologists

  • Vocational counselors

  • Recreational therapists

  • Rehabilitation nurses

  • Psychologists

  • Nutritional specialist

  • Case manager

Family members are considered an important part of the rehab team. They need to understand what is happening to the patient and are encouraged to attend therapy sessions, ask questions, and learn ways to assist their loved ones.
