The Same Team, Start to Finish

Care at Rehab Select at Barfield Health Care is tailored to each patient, with strong nursing and rehabilitation teams skilled in serving medically complex needs. This includes dialysis patients when clinically appropriate.

Therapy takes place in two gyms, for occupational and physical therapy, and an office for speech therapy. The gyms use equipment that pinpoints each patient's weaknesses for a precise plan of attack, plus air-pressure resistance equipment that builds strength without the intimidation of traditional weights. Patients have access to up to three hours of therapy each day, and recover in large private rooms and outdoor courtyards, easing the emotional weight of a stay. 

An on-staff physiatrist and behavioral health services support each patient’s recovery — with leadership staying visible on the floor, not managing from behind a desk.

We help patients move from hospital to rehabilitation — and home — safely and confidently.

“The care I received from Rehab Select was the best I have ever had. During my one month stay, I felt at home. Everyone on staff was so nice – I can’t choose just one person that made my time there memorable as they were all wonderful. In addition, I enjoyed the food options and feel that I received something good to eat every day.”
