Before Your Visit
For Current Patients
Areas of Expertise in Inpatient Recovery
Amputation
After an amputation, you will need support in health recovery, as well as restoration of functional abilities. We'll help you regain strength and manage both the emotional and physical aspects of your care. This includes consideration of a prosthetic, if applicable.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
During recovery from Guillain-Barré Syndrome, you may experience weakness in your arms and legs that impairs your movement. Inpatient rehabilitation has been shown to have a significant positive impact on restoring a patient's function.
Multiple Sclerosis
Whether you're newly diagnosed or experiencing a flare-up, we'll partner with you to help improve or maintain physical and cognitive function, prevent complications, assess equipment needs, and address emotional and social factors to enhance your quality of life.
Spinal Cord Injury
Following a spinal cord injury, your robust interdisciplinary team will support you as you restore strength and adapt techniques to resume skills for independence. They will also provide pertinent education to you and your care partners and address any equipment needs you may have.
Stroke
Our goal is to help you regain what you’ve lost after a stroke. You’ll receive care from experts in movement, cognition and speech recovery. You’ll also exercise, engage in conversation and memory activities, and practice life skills.
Traumatic Brain Injury
To support your best function and quality of life after TBI, your team will be led by a rehabilitation medicine physician and supported by specialists in nutrition; social work; neuropsychology; and physical, speech, occupational and recreational therapy.
CARF accreditation
Recognized for Excellence
Our comprehensive inpatient programs in the Treasure Valley and Magic Valley are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). St. Luke's Outpatient Brain Injury programs in Boise and Meridian are also CARF accredited. This means these programs are striving to meet the highest standards of care nationally.
In order to maintain our CARF accreditation, we must regularly share our patient outcomes as they compare to national benchmarks.
