Restoring Movement and Life Skills

Rehabilitation services of Central DuPage Hospital address a wide range of needs: restoring strength after surgery, learning to speak again after stroke, overcoming congenital limitations and compensating for functional loss caused by disease, injury or treatment.

Teaming with Families and Caregivers

True success begins at the medical center, but ultimately is measured by how the person functions at home. Rehabilitation specialists of Central DuPage Hospital collaborate closely with patients, family members and other caregivers to assure a continuity of care from the medical center to the home environment (or to an intermediate care facility, when appropriate).

An individualized home program is an important step in rehabilitation. Our therapists educate patients, family members and caregivers about home care and how to reinforce rehabilitation at home. We also incorporate the family/caregiver’s goals into our overall rehabilitation plan.

Our Services

Central DuPage Hospital’s Department of Rehabilitation Services provides a broad spectrum of services for inpatients and outpatients. We serve children and adults of all ages, from babies through elderly adults.
