There's no place like home for healing
Rehab Without Walls^® was founded in 1991 as an alternative to traditional neurological rehabilitation programs. This unique service is delivered where patients need it most; in their own surroundings. Rehab Without Walls is focused on providing patients with the functional skills necessary to participate in practical daily activities at home, school, work or in the community where they live.

A whole new kind of care
Rehab Without Walls is dedicated to removing walls — including physical, emotional and geographical — that can slow recovery. The advantage of this comprehensive service is that a skilled clinical team, which can include physical therapists, occupational therapists, recreational therapists, speech pathologists, clinical social workers, nutritionists and neuropsychologists, is able to teach relevant skills in the patient's environment as opposed to a staged setting. Instead of just learning to prepare a meal, patients learn to shop in their local grocery store and use their own kitchen. Rather than simply focusing on grooming skills, patients learn to navigate their own bathrooms. The ultimate goal of Rehab Without Walls is to provide care in a comfortable, familiar environment, help patients experience better outcomes and reduce hospital costs.

How Rehab Without Walls works
Gentiva's expert team will create a customized treatment plan based on the physician's orders and the patient's goals. For example, if a patient wants to play the piano again, that will become part of the rehabilitation routine. When patients have a realistic goal — like returning to a beloved pastime or going back to work — rehabilitation becomes real.
