Your experience matters!
At Kindred Hospital Sugar Land, we are driven by a profound commitment to prioritize your well-being so you can provide exceptional care to others. Here, you're not just valued as an employee, but as a person.
The Acute Rehabilitation Unit (ARU) at Kindred Hospital Sugar Land is a standout feature of the facility, offering focused inpatient rehab for patients recovering from serious illness or injury. Here are the key highlights:
- Specialized Rehab Programs: Tailored for individuals recovering from stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, orthopedic trauma, neurological conditions, or amputation. The goal is to restore independence and function.
- Modern Facilities: The ARU includes 11 newly renovated private rooms, a state-of-the-art rehab gym, and dedicated spaces for dining and activities-all designed to create a comfortable, home-like environment.
- Therapy Intensity: Patients receive at least 15 hours of therapy per week, guided by a multidisciplinary team under the direction of a physiatrist (a doctor specializing in rehab medicine).
- Seamless Transition: Because the ARU is located within Kindred Hospital Sugar Land, patients can move directly from long-term acute care to rehabilitation without transferring to a different facility.
- Outdoor Mobility Areas: The hospital includes outdoor spaces where patients can practice walking and meet with family, supporting both physical and emotional recovery.
