About San Leandro Hospital Acute Rehabilitation

At San Leandro Hospital Acute Rehabilitation, we are committed to helping patients achieve the best recovery possible. Our highly trained, licensed, and certified professionals provide nurturing support and physical rehabilitation for a variety of patients.

San Leandro Hospital Acute Rehabilitation is an acute rehabilitation provider, which means it must provide 15 hours of therapy within a 7-day week, according to guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This is typically provided for 3 hours per day, 5 days a week. Acute rehabilitation providers are highly specialized at getting individuals back home and functioning at their best level possible.

  • Amputation
  • General medical and debilitating conditions
  • Multiple traumas

  • Mindfulness training

Enhancing the patient Experience

We want our patients to achieve the best possible recovery. That means ensuring our patients have positive experiences as well as positive outcomes, as measured against national benchmarks in key therapy areas such as length of stay, discharge to community, and functional improvement. Because we are part of a leading national rehab provider, we are also able to harness a breadth of resources internally to compare outcomes and quality between facilities and programs and share best practices in an effort to always be on the leading edge of patient care.

Specialized Equipment and Therapies

Recovery/Gym Services at San Leandro Hospital Acute Rehabilitation

Our program offers a spacious fully-equipped gym which gives you and your clinical care team plenty of rehab therapy treatment options. Interacting with other patients during rehabilitation therapy in our therapy gym fosters camaraderie and can help you stay motivated to reach your rehab goals.

Getting outside to speed recovery

Studies show that outdoor recreation increases happiness and reduces stress in many people. In fact, one study showed that a view of nature, even through a window, speeds recovery from surgery. That’s why we created an outdoor activity area where you can spend time relaxing, enjoying the sunshine, and visiting with loved ones before or after your rehab therapy sessions.

Our outdoor activity area can be useful for your recovery. If improved walking is one of your rehabilitation goals, practicing outdoors on different types of surfaces can help you better prepare for your daily activities once you are discharged.

We often take patients outside and practice community re-entry activities.

  • Activities of Daily Living (ADL) training room – kitchen and bathroom

Comfortable rooms and locations for relaxation
As part of our effort to make your rehabilitation as comfortable as possible, we are pleased to offer our patients clean, cozy rooms with many of the amenities of home to help you rest before and after your rehab therapy sessions, and get a good night’s sleep.

San Leandro Hospital Acute Rehabilitation offers private and companion rooms. Our rooms meet all American Disability Act requirements including a roll-in shower. Each bed has its own private television for patient entertainment when not in therapy and wifi is accessible throughout the entire hospital.

Plenty of Opportunities for Socializing

Social interactions can be an important part of rehabilitation therapy. That’s why we offer a number of ways for patients to socialize with one another during their stay with us.

Some of the benefits of interacting with others during your rehab program can include:

  • Increased self-confidence and self-esteem
  • Improved physical and mental health
  • Receiving encouragement from others undergoing rehab therapy
  • Providing advice or encouragement to others undergoing rehab therapy

We are committed to making sure your time with us is as productive and enjoyable as possible. To that end, our program was designed to ensure that you are given every opportunity to socialize with other people undergoing rehab therapy and to make your time with us feel more like being at home or with friends and less like a hospital stay.

The Importance of Support
Support groups are an important resource for patients and their family members or caregivers. Support groups for rehabilitation programs consist of people with a common condition or similar challenges who meet on a regular basis to talk about their experiences, share ideas, and provide support for one another.

One of the biggest advantages of support groups is that they help participants realize they are not alone – there are other people who have the same problems and goals. For many participants, this is a huge relief and important form of encouragement. Rehabilitation support groups can help participants with both the physical and emotional challenges of rehab therapy, which can be an essential part of your rehab program. For example, members of the group who have the same problems or goals you do can support you and may suggest new ways of tackling a particular problem. Connecting with others to share experiences, information, and advice can be incredibly motivating and beneficial.

We currently offer an Acute Rehab Support Group.
