HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital of Montgomery, now also called Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Montgomery, sits at 4465 Narrow Lane Road in Montgomery, AL, where folks will find a larger place set up with 75 authorized beds focused fully on physical medicine and rehab care, and you know, they've got round-the-clock nursing staff, with many of them having specialized rehab training, so there's always someone there for needs big or small, plus regular visits from independent physicians, which helps patients get medical guidance as they recover from things like strokes, brain or spinal injuries, hip fractures, and other tough neurological and orthopedic conditions. The hospital admits patients into a Rehabilitation Inpatient Unit and builds personalized treatment plans, bringing together a full team-physical, speech, and occupational therapists, nurses, physicians, pharmacists, dietitians, and case managers-so nobody works alone, and they all work from different angles to help healing and independence, which means you'd see three hours of therapy, five days a week, for every inpatient, whether that means working on walking, talking, cooking, or just getting comfortable again, and that's really at the heart of a good rehab stay.
Patients benefit from advanced rehab tools like Bioness H200®, DriveABLE™LiteGait®, NeuroGYM Sit-to-Stand Trainer®, MOTOmed® muvi, TRAN-SIT® Car Transfer Simulator, and the Vector® gait system, and when you need more specialized help, there's pain management, oncology support, wound and respiratory care, onsite dialysis, as well as cardiac rehabilitation programs, plus support groups like the stroke support group are on offer for both patients and caregivers, and if you ever feel lonely or want something familiar, the place is pet-friendly and allows service animals, which can mean a lot to folks getting back on their feet. There's plenty of comfort for the family with a family lounge and a day room, where families can have quiet visits from 8 in the morning to 8 at night, or rest in the well-kept courtyard for some fresh air, and there's a cafeteria for meals, plus basic comforts like telephones, TVs, parking, and free WiFi, and if you speak something other than English, interpreter services are available for clear communication across the board.
The hospital keeps a nonsmoking environment, and while admission's closed at this time, you can call about future openings, and tours of the hospital are also available, which helps people see what they'd be walking into. You'll also see student observers and volunteers sometimes, because the hospital encourages learning and has a hospital volunteer program, which adds a bit more life to the place. Standards are high, with The Joint Commission's accreditation and the Gold Seal of Approval for Disease-Specific Care Certification in stroke and hip fracture rehab, which should give peace of mind without all the extra fuss. There's also transportation help for appointments or therapy, making it easier to get where you need to go. All in all, the main focus is comprehensive, round-the-clock, and practical rehab care using both new technology and everyday comforts to support patients on the road to recovery.
