The Rehabilitation Service Department (RSD), a multi-modal clinical services program. Services are based on the belief that each individual has the right to live a productive, meaningful existence in the least restrictive environment. This includes the elimination of barriers and development of competencies for the purpose of assisting individuals toward their optimum levels of personal, emotional, social, community, vocational and leisure development. It is our belief that greater emphasis on “wellness”, “recovery” and “responsibility of self” for his/her own actions will better prepare the individual for discharge and successful community re-entry.

The primary mission of the Rehabilitation Services Department is to provide the highest quality of patient care and treatment to the adolescent and adult psychiatric patient through all levels of care, in accordance with the professional standards and practice of the therapeutic modalities comprising the Rehabilitation Services Department.

 

The overall goal of providing discipline specific skilled interventions for patients referred for services, within the scope and protocol of these treatment modalities includes: the provision of experiences designed to facilitate the habilitation and rehabilitation of skills to support current strengths; address barriers; and increase motivation toward becoming self-reliant and independent.  Bringing the individual to their optimal level of functioning in keeping with their chosen goals and lifestyle.

The Rehabilitation Services Department has the responsibility to assure that all patients admitted to Spring Grove Hospital Center for treatment or evaluation are provided with individualized care to meet the identified mental, emotional and physical health needs. Services are provided in a safe, ethical, humane manner, regardless of diagnosis, condition, ethnic origin, age, gender or religious preference.

All treatment and services are provided by professional and technician level staff and are based on an initial assessment, completed within 72 hours of hospital admission, identifying pertinent health and life history, strengths, barriers, abilities, needs and interests of the individual patient. Based upon these assessment findings, rehab interventions are specified, in accordance with the targeted needs and treatment goals of the patient, as identified on the Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP). Services are identified to include a minimum of 2 hours of rehab intervention per day. Day, evening and weekend services are provided throughout the hospital and intervention effectiveness is monitored on an ongoing basis. Progress notes are completed either weekly or monthly in accordance with Spring Grove Hospital Center Medical Records policy and procedures.
