Occupational Therapist, Weekends

Its Time to Get Better! Piedmonts Inpatient Acute Rehab (IPAR) program is a 20-bed unit that offers intense acute rehab services for patients who are experiencing a functional decline from a wider range of diagnoses.

The rehab team includes nurses, nursing assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, and case managers. IPAR offers an on-site physician team, including both a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) doctor and an Internal Medicine doctor that work together to coordinate your clinical needs. The doctors lead the rehab team to maximize the patients functional improvement, including spearheading communication and training with family/caregivers. Our facility serves patients with a variety of conditions. However, the most common diagnoses of patients being admitted to IPAR are neurological disease or injury (e.g. stroke) and orthopedic conditions.
