Results

Functional outcomes

On admission, our stroke patients require an average of maximum assistance to complete tasks involved in daily life. This means they are able to complete less than 50 percent of each task on their own.

On average, patients discharged from the Stroke Rehabilitation Program require only supervision to complete activities of daily living. This means our patients can complete most of each daily task, but they may require some steadying or supervision for more difficult tasks.

Discharge

 

Most patients who receive intensive, inpatient therapy as part of our comprehensive Stroke Rehabilitation Program are admitted from an acute care hospital where they stayed following the onset of the stroke. Other patients are admitted from home or a skilled nursing facility and participate in our Second Chance Stroke Program. For these patients, Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital is their first opportunity to benefit from a comprehensive stroke rehabilitation program. Prior to their stroke, most individuals were living at home, some worked and some were retired.

Following discharge from Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, 70.8 percent of our patients were able to return home; 16.3 percent required ongoing care at a skilled nursing facility; and 12.9 percent were re-admitted to an acute care hospital due to complications.

Patient satisfaction

The primary focus of our Stroke Rehabilitation Program is to provide the highest quality, personalized clinical patient care. There are many factors that contribute to success, including our outstanding clinical care team of physicians, nurses and therapists, as well as a calming, healing environment.
