Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit

The Comprehensive Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit is for patients who require intensive multidisciplinary therapy for a minimum of three hours every day.  All of our hospitals refer patients to the Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute in Morristown for this level of therapy.  Evaluation and treatment begin on the same day of admission. 

Our comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation program is licensed by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, and has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) for its Adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Program, an accrediting body that promotes quality, value and optimal outcomes. 

At Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute, there is a true community built on mercy and compassion for people who suddenly have lost function or independence…From the doctors and physical therapists and nurses, to the aides and food service people, they made each patient feel welcomed and special. They listened. They worked with us and for us…When I left there after three weeks, I cried like a kid leaving camp.
