Where do you turn when your life changes dramatically due to an illness or accident?
When you need to put your life back together in a way you never dreamed? What if you need to re-learn how to
walk or feed yourself?
Adult Rehabilitation Therapy can help and is crucial to returning a patient to a full, productive life.
The Sparrow Adult Inpatient Rehabilitation Therapy Department
provides all aspects of physical rehabilitation therapy including physical, occupational,
speech and recreational therapy. The unit includes a "condo" to help patients prepare for
their return home. They can plan and prepare meals, practice getting in and out of a "regular" bed and bathtub.
There are also community reintegration programs including shopping trips to purchase the food for the meals they will prepare in the condo.
Adult Rehab Therapy helps people in all aspects of their life, including leisure time. Sparrow sponsors an adaptive
golf class each year to give persons with a disability the opportunity to re-learn (or learn)
to play golf using special adaptive golf equipment.
Please contact the Sparrow Foundation office at 517.364.5680 for more information regarding this area.
