How We Are Different

People rely on Columbus Regional Health’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit to get the right care in the right place — at the right time. And for those people who need medical rehabilitation, the choice between Columbus Regional Hospital and a nursing home is an easy choice.

We offer:

  • Close medical supervision by a Physician with specialized training
  • 24-Hour rehabilitation nursing 
  • Multidisciplinary team approach
  • Three hours of daily intensive therapy, up to seven days a week
  • Nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:4 (nursing homes may have one nurse for up to 30 patients)

Columbus Regional Hospital’s Inpatient Rehabilitation team is providing a higher level of care, so many patients are discharged in half the time and need less follow-up care than if they had been treated in a nursing home. Typical nursing homes don’t provide this level of physician attention — or the nursing expertise.

The Team that Supports and Encourages

Siegel, Zachary 14

Dedicated Physician — Dr. Zachary Siegel is a physiatrist, specially trained in rehabilitation. He directs the medical treatment and rehabilitation program for each patient.

Rehabilitation Nurses are specially trained to monitor and manage complex medical issues, provide patient and caregiver education; and establish plans of care to maintain optimal wellness.

Physical Therapists develop treatment plans that rebuild strength and mobility. Special exercises and other activities are designed to build confidence, strengthen muscles and improve endurance and coordination.

Occupational Therapists challenge patients to perform the simple tasks of everyday living -- cooking, eating, dressing -- through individually designed exercises, activities and the use of specialized equipment.

Speech Pathologists work to treat memory and language disorders that interfere with the ability to communicate, as well as swallowing issues.

Neuropsychology is also available.

For over 30 years, we’ve been helping people relearn the basic skills that will allow them to return home.
