Desert Canyon Rehabilitation Hospital offers comprehensive rehabilitation services for patients with a variety of neurological disorders and medical conditions. We recognize that no two patients have the same rehabilitation needs and therefore require customized programs designed to achieve individual goals. Our programs will be tailored to your needs. Whether you have Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, experienced a stroke, have had neurosurgery, or have some other neurological condition, Desert Canyon can assist you with your recovery.
The goal of the program will be to work together as a team (you, your family and our staff) to develop a comprehensive therapy program specifically designed to meet your individualized therapy goals. We will work with you, every step of the way, to assist you in regaining function and in coping with the physical and psychological impact of your condition so that you can achieve your goals. Desert Canyon will combine therapies with skill-building activities and counseling to provide a nurturing environment. Successful recovery is determined through day-to-day management of your condition.
Personalized Care
When you arrive at Desert Canyon you will be met by your Rehabilitation Therapy Team. This team of professional doctors, nurses and therapists will conduct a comprehensive evaluation. We then work with you and your family to develop a team treatment strategy that is specifically tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Your stay with us will include daily therapy. You will also have time for recreation and socialization to the extent you are able with our other guests. If you like, your plan can also include some personal time for reflection or perhaps meditation in our outdoor therapy garden. We recognize that therapy is about healing the whole person – body and mind.
Your care team and personalized services
At Desert Canyon, our physiatrists -- doctors who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation -- will assemble a professional staff of therapists who will be available to you during your stay. These professionals are your personal treatment team in addition to the dieticians, recreation therapists, and any other consulting specialists or ancillary staff. You can rest assured that whatever your specific needs are, we have a superior team of clinical and rehabilitation specialists ready to assist you.
