Christiana Care Health System’s Center for Rehabilitation at Wilmington Hospital earned certification from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities for its Brain Injury, Amputation and Stroke programs and for Comprehensive Adult Inpatient care. The certification is for the three-year period running until 2015.
This is the first time the Brain Injury program at the Center for Rehabilitation has been awarded CARF certification, the second consecutive time for Amputation and Stroke and the sixth consecutive time for Comprehensive Adult Inpatient care.
“Accreditation from CARF recognizes that our therapists, nurses and the entire interdisciplinary rehabilitation team place the patient at the center of the recovery experience,” says Sharon Kurfuerst, vice president of Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Services at Christiana Care. “There is no need for patients to leave the state of Delaware to receive the highest quality rehabilitative care.”
The Center for Rehabilitation at Wilmington Hospital is a 40-bed unit that offers a full range of acute rehabilitation services. At 61,000 square feet, the therapy space is one of the largest in the Mid-Atlantic region. It includes multiple areas that simulate real world environments, including a residential training apartment that allows patients to practice everyday living skills.
