Conditions Treated

Stroke Rehabilitation

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. While most of the more than 700,000 people who have a stroke each year survive, the majority of stroke survivors require extensive rehabilitation.

Good Shepherd Penn Partners (GSPP) offers comprehensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation care to stroke survivors. Good Shepherd Penn Partners is dedicated to helping you to regain as much function as possible and get you back into your life following stroke.

Good Shepherd Penn Partners offers three levels of care tailored to your individual needs through every step of your rehabilitation.

After leaving the hospital, a stroke survivor may be medically stable, but too fragile to go home or to a rehabilitation facility. The physicians and staff of the Good Shepherd Penn Partners Specialty Hospital at Rittenhouse can provide the additional level of care that is needed at this stage of your rehabilitation.

Once you are medically stable, intensive inpatient stroke rehabilitation is provided at the Penn Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine. Here, stroke survivors receive three hours of physical, speech or occupational therapy each day.

For individuals who have completed inpatient rehabilitation, have had minor strokes or are more advanced in their stroke rehabilitation, GSPP Penn Therapy & Fitness offers outpatient stroke therapy at eight convenient locations throughout the Philadelphia region.
