Sparrow shows further commitment to neuroscience excellence, with nursing units devoted
solely to the care of neuro patients. 6 Neuman is dedicated to the neuro patients with the highest level of
acuity. It is divided into a Neuro Intensive Care Unit (or Neuro ICU) and a Neuro Step-Down Unit.
These units employ nurses that are specially trained to care for neurological patients. Along with nursing excellence, these units
operate under the direction of the same team director to further assure continuity of care.
Neuro patients with a more stable neurologic outlook may be placed on the Ortho/Neuro Unit
on 4 South. These special nursing teams also have experience working with neurological patients.
They care for many of the post neuro-surgical patients who do not have a need for an advanced neuro nursing area.
Rehab Nursing
The Sparrow Inpatient Rehabilitation Program consists
of a 31-bed licensed JCAHO (Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) and CARF (Commission for Accreditation of Rehabilitation
Facilities) accredited unit with a full range of medical and therapy services. The Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit provides services for patients with
physically disabling conditions due to stroke, head injury, arthritis, amputation, spinal cord injury or other musculoskeletal
and nervous system disorders. It is located across from the Neuro ICU and Step-Down areas to assure proper continuum of care.
