Desert Canyon Rehabilitation Hospital offers rehabilitation services on an inpatient and outpatient basis for workers injured on the job. Your need for inpatient or outpatient services will be determined upon the extent of your injuries. Most work injuries are treated on an outpatient basis and may include a combination of physical, occupational, vocational or other therapy. Our program will also address work conditioning, and pain management – all designed to return you to home and work with an optimal level of function. Individualized programs focus on maximum functional outcomes that are cost-effective.
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 including several hours of physical, occupational and/or other therapy. You will also have time for recreation and socialization with our other guests in our day room. 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.
