Healthsouth Rehabilitation sits right at 6400 Edgelake Dr in Sarasota, FL, where people go for different types of recovery after tough health events like strokes, hip fractures, or injuries to the brain or spine, and there's really a large focus on intensive therapy with a caring staff who's used to dealing with complex cases. The facility's got a mix of 30 private and 33 semi-private rooms, each with its own bathroom and shower, so people can have privacy and comfort, and every room has a TV, telephone, and wireless internet, which is nice for staying connected or just feeling a bit more at home. People can get inpatient care here for conditions like amputation, joint replacement, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and even traumatic brain injuries, and there's always a nurse on duty, so somebody's there if you need help, no matter the time.
They use lots of up-to-date rehabilitation technology and special equipment, with things like the Bioness H200®, DriveABLE™LiteGait®, NeuroGYM Sit-to-Stand Trainer®, and the MOTOmed® muvi, which help people relearn movement, try walking, or build strength in ways that feel closer to real life, and for folks who need dialysis, there's a portable machine right on site. Patients get about three hours of therapy, five days a week, with therapists who know how to help with stroke recovery, neurological rehab, orthopedic problems, amputations, or using prosthetics, and the care team isn't just nurses and therapists, but also physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, and case managers-all working together to make a care plan that fits each person's needs.
Healthsouth works closely with independent doctors and lets patients keep seeing their familiar physicians too, plus interpreters-like Spanish translators-make it easier to talk with staff, and service animals are allowed for support. There's a day room and a courtyard for fresh air, a cafeteria for meals, and free onsite parking for families visiting, with social and educational activities planned through the week so people can meet others, learn new things, or join in support groups for stroke, cardiac, amputee, or MS patients. Healthsouth gives weekend and outside-normal-hours appointments and supports virtual visits if someone can't come in person, and they're part of a national network recognized by The Joint Commission and CARF for high standards in rehabilitation. The facility also reaches out to the community by sharing health guides, educational quizzes, and wellness tips through newsletters and social media, and people can use online tools like BMI calculators, blood pressure trackers, and sleep charts right from their rooms. All these different pieces help Healthsouth Rehabilitation focus on helping people feel better, get stronger, and try to get back to a more normal life after hard medical times, and while every place has good days and bad days, the care team's experience with complex medical needs stands out.
