Northwest Transitions Inpatient Rehabilitation
Virtual Tour
Northwest Transitions is an inpatient rehabilitation unit conveniently located on the Northwest Medical Center campus at the corner of Orange Grove Road and La Cholla Road.
As a department of Oro Valley Hospital, Northwest Transitions offers inpatient rehabilitative care in a supportive, caring environment. We focus on emphasizing ability, rather than disability, and help patients regain the confidence they need for recovery.
Our goal is to help patients regain their independence. We offer a daily regimen of one-to-one physical, occupational and/or speech therapy designed to help patients return to doing the everyday activities they love to do. Each patient stays in a private room with access to a private bathroom (including a walk-in shower and grooming vanity). Each day, patients get dressed and work with therapy staff on daily living activities including eating, grooming, showering and dressing.
Your multidisciplinary team may include physical, occupational and speech therapists, a dietician, a case manager and different members of the rehabilitation nursing staff. Rehabilitation physicians, who are dedicated to this unit, provide medical services daily.
We provide a large dining room that allows patients to enjoy meals with other patients as a part of the rehabilitation process. The dining space also doubles as an activity area where patients can enjoy reading, puzzles and computer activities.
Northwest Transitions also offers a specialized inpatient prosthetic training program, including physical and occupational therapy designed to help patients get the very best fit, function and mobility out of their new prosthetic devices. Patients have their own private rooms and bathrooms, and specially trained professionals to help with gait and movement training.
To qualify for the program, patients must have a recommendation and medical documentation from their physician, prosthetist or therapist; show medical need for intensive hospitalized rehabilitation; and have completely healed skin with no areas of skin breakdown. The admissions liaison may visit a patient at home or at a prosthetic appointment to assess his or her qualifications.
Visitors
The rehabilitation unit welcomes visitors and family to aid in recovery. Patients and their rehab care team can set a visitation schedule that allows for visits yet maximizes therapy sessions. Family members or caregivers will be asked to participate in caregiver training with the therapists prior to discharge.
