No date set to begin construction on 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital

By HFT Editorial Staff


Encompass Health Corp. Will build a freestanding, 40-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Amarillo, Texas. The facility has yet to release a construction start date.

“We are excited to expand our rehabilitation services to Amarillo, Texas, and we are thankful for the community support we have received,” says Frank Brown, president of Encompass Health’s Southwest region. “Through the new inpatient rehabilitation hospital, we will provide our patients with coordinated and connected care that meets them where they are in their healthcare journeys and makes a positive difference in their lives.”

Complementing local acute care services, this inpatient rehabilitation hospital will serve patients recovering from debilitating illnesses and injuries, including strokes and other neurological disorders, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and complex orthopedic conditions. In addition to 24-hour nursing care, the hospital will offer physical, occupational and speech therapies to restore functional ability and quality of life.

The hospital will feature all private patient rooms, a therapy gym with advanced rehabilitation technologies and an activities of daily living suite, cafeteria, dining room, pharmacy and therapy courtyard.
