Are the therapy services at Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital different than other types of rehabilitation facilities like SNF or LTAC hospitals?
Acute rehabilitation hospitals provide a higher level of therapy services than other rehabilitation facilities. Although the intensity and duration of therapy sessions depend on the patient’s individual needs and capabilities, New England Rehabilitation Hospital provides each patient three (3) hours of therapy a day at least five days a week. Other levels of care may state they provide up to three hours per day of therapy, but are not obligated to do so. Medicare guideline stipulate acute rehab hospitals, like Braintree Rehab Hospital, must provide Medicare recipients 3-hours of therapy 5 days per week. We apply this standard of rehabilitation intensity to all patients, regardless of their insurance coverage. It is this emphasis on rehabilitation, in addition to the hospital level medical care that makes Braintree Rehab Hospital different from SNF and LTAC. It is the intensity and frequency of therapy we provide at Braintree Rehab Hospital that contributes to a higher level of function
