RESTART Recovery

Welcome to RESTART. This site was created by rehabilitation nurses who understand the special needs of people who experience a major physical injury, chronic illness, or disability. Physical rehabilitation provides a total approach to treatment and long-term care for people on the road to recovery. We hope this site answers the questions you may have along the way.

The Right Decision

Learn more about what to consider before entering physical rehabilitation.

Starting Rehabilitation

You will work with healthcare providers (nurses) to identify your levels of physical function and work toward reaching your own goals. Physical rehabilitation can occur in many ways and places.

Participating in Rehabilitation

Your time in a rehabilitation program may vary due to many factors. Learn about how to get the most benefit from your individual rehabilitation journey.

Transitions

If you are in an inpatient rehabilitation facility or a skilled nursing facility, you may be ready to go home or to a different type of healthcare setting. There are many things to consider and planning to be done before you make these transitions.

Rehabilitation/Disability Resources

Before you enter a physical rehabilitation program, during your stay, or when you go home there are a number of financial and legal matters you need to think about. These include whether insurance will cover all or part of your treatments, whether you have the ability to make all of your own legal decisions, and whether you might qualify for disability.
