More About Us…

MRMC Rehab is able to provide individualized programs for clients ranging in ages from 17 years and up. We accept a variety of insurance payer sources and will work with the individual insurance company to obtain pre-authorization for admission where required. A pre-admission screening is required for all potential admissions. These are conducted by trained clinicians to ensure appropriate of admission.

Progression towards goals is a key in any rehabilitation setting. Rehab agencies focus highly on the ability of each individual to be able to “make significant progress” during their rehabilitation stay. The MRMC Rehab interdisciplinary team provides ongoing communication of the progression towards goals in both formal and informal settings.

• The formal setting – the Weekly Team Conference, is the time when the interdisciplinary team meets to discuss the individual’s current status, progression towards goals and any barriers to discharge goals. The Team’s findings are then communicated by our Medical Director on a one-on-one basis meeting with the client and family after the conference. This provides the patient and family opportunity to ask questions, clarify information, or provide recommendations to aide the client in staying “on target” towards goal progression and attainment.
• The informal setting – the physician, therapy, nursing and clinical care managers are able to provide daily updates regarding the current status of a client.

Important information identified in the formal or informal settings can play a vital role in assisting a client in making progress towards goal attainment. As indicated, this information will be communicated to the interdisciplinary team members.
