TAMC Rehab Services
keep patients close to home
Support from family and friends is a vital part of recovery for patients that have had a serious injury or health crisis, such as a stroke, second and third degree burns, or serious injuries due to an accident. The presence and support of a loved one can have a positive impact for a rehab patient.
Rehab facilities that are hours away from home may leave patients with little access to their loved ones. That is why having a team of rehab professionals close to home is so important. At The Aroostook Medical Center’s Acute Inpatient Rehab Unit, patients can go through their rehab and have their friends and family that live in Aroostook County nearby.
TAMC’s acute inpatient rehab unit is one of the most successful in New England when is comes to satisfied patients.
“We pride ourselves on our quality of patient care,” said TAMC Acute Inpatient Rehab Senior Manager Barbara Ireland. “Our patient satisfaction scores are second to none. We strive to make sure our patients are completely satisfied with every aspect of their visit.”
TAMC’s team of nurses, doctors, and therapists work with each patient and their family to make a plan for the patient’s path to recovery. The patient care plan is tailored to meet the needs of each individual patient. This plan helps to guide the patient toward a return to an independent lifestyle back home.
When rehab is needed, patients are happy to know that there is an option close to home.
“We have had patients from the County that had medical procedures in Bangor, Portland and even Boston come back to the County for their rehab,” added Ireland, “They don’t regret it; being closer to family and friends can make a big difference during rehab.”
“We strive to make sure our patients are completely satisfied with every aspect of their visit.”
