Inpatient Rehabilitation

Why Choose Us

At Nationwide Children’s Hospital, we focus on family-centered care. That means we care about the family’s needs as well as the child’s. We recognized the entire family as the constant in the patient’s life. It also means that you, the family, play an essential role in your child’s care.

We recognize that each child we treat is a member of a unique family with varied values, needs, environments, cultures, resources and strengths. We are committed to ensuring our facilities and staff support family-centered concepts that promote efficiency, flexibility and quality care while honoring the family’s need for confidentiality and privacy.

At Nationwide Children’s, you’ll find staff who are completely committed to improving the lives of children everywhere. The Inpatient Rehabilitation Program has adopted these critical components.

We will:

• Work with the family in planning and providing care
• Share all information about the patient’s care and progress in a supportive way
• Practice policies that support the emotional and financial needs of the family
• Recognize every family has strengths and respect the family’s ways of coping with the patient’s care, hospitalization and rehabilitation
• Consider the developmental needs of each patient and family in planning and providing care
• Assist the family in meeting with other parents for encouragement and support
• Ensure our program will be flexible, accessible and responsive to the patient’s and family’s needs

Our Mission, Philosophy, Values and Ethical Principles

Mission

To provide comprehensive family-centered physical rehabilitative services while embracing the diverse and individual needs of each child and family.

Philosophy

The philosophy of the Inpatient Rehabilitation Program reflects our dedication to enhancing each patient’s functional abilities as well as providing support and education to the patient’s family. We believe children and adolescents who have experienced some loss in cognitive or physical functions have a greater chance of recovering part or all of their abilities when actively involved in a dynamic and progressive rehabilitation program. We are committed to providing comprehensive quality health care to children and adolescents.
