Nearly 3 million people who have a stroke are living with varying degrees of disability, and at least half of that population need partial or total assistance to perform daily activities.

Forsyth Medical Center's stroke rehabilitation program helps stroke survivors return to their lives, employment and families by providing a continuum of services, from comprehensive therapy to preparation for home or work re-entry.

The program provides encouragement and a well-equipped facility in which recovering stroke patients can improve vital social skills, employment skills and physical endurance. The program is designed to help patients achieve the best possible functional outcomes, thereby improving their overall quality of life.

Emphasis is on thorough, multidisciplinary care and customized treatment plans. Average length of stay in the inpatient rehabilitation program is 16 days, which is lower than the national average and two days less than the length of stay of other local programs.

Discharge to home percentage is also higher - 88 percent - compared to 82 percent for the other hospitals in the region and 80 percent nationally.

Whatever the patient's goal may be, our rehabilitative team has access to progressive therapeutic approaches that facilitate recovery and the return home.
