Preparing for Independence

We have three customized inpatient therapy gyms that provide safe and nurturing spaces where you can work with your therapists and other clinicians. You’ll participate in three hours of combined therapy daily, at least five days a week.

Schwab has specialized rehabilitation equipment and spaces to support your recovery. In our therapy apartment, you’ll practice kitchen skills and other everyday activities.

And when you’re ready, we’ll help facilitate the process of getting a prosthetic (replacement limb) to optimize your mobility.

Maximizing your Potential

Our program is unique because it includes services and opportunities for your lifetime. Using a holistic approach, we concentrate on more than your physical healing. We also address your emotional and psychological needs. Our Peer Mentoring Program provides opportunities for you to talk with people who have also experienced an amputation. The education we provide for your family and other caregivers helps you return home safely and confidently.

Beyond Inpatient Treatment

Schwab provides outpatient programs to help you continue your recovery. Your team will work with you to recommend therapy and services, so you can live as independently as possible.
