The famed Cleveland Clinic should be better than this display of incompetency.

Cleveland Clinic opened its new 60-bed inpatient hospital, the Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation Hospital Beachwood, on Oct. 8.
“If
your family member has a stroke or a spinal cord injury or brain injury
or amputation, they come right here to Beachwood, and we’ll know what
to do with them and we’ll take care of them,” said Dr. Frederick Frost,
chairman of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Cleveland Clinic, as
he introduced the new hospital to members of Beachwood city government
and other Clinic employees. “We’ll answer your questions.”
Clinic
Rehabilitation Hospital Beachwood is intended for short-term
rehabilitation. A patient’s typical length of stay will be 14 to 18
days, said Geoffery Hall, CEO of the Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation
Hospital Edwin Shaw in Cuyahoga Falls, which is scheduled to open next
month and is a sister hospital to the Beachwood rehabilitation hospital.
Hall
said brain injury patients and spinal cord injury patients could stay
longer, and care is individualized for each patient. Patients will
receive physical, speech and occupational therapy as their diagnosis
warrants, and he said occupational therapy will help patients learn to
care for themselves after an injury such as a stroke.
“Everything from
cooking dinner, dressing themselves, a transition to that home
environment,” Hall said of how occupational therapy will help those at
Clinic Rehabilitation Hospital Beachwood. The hospital also features a
room set up as a home environment, with a bed, oven and stove,
refrigerator, washing machine and dryer, in order to get patients ready
to transition back to living independently. Hall said the last day for
many patients will be an “independence day,” where they’ll receive
minimal assistance from the staff in order to prepare them for returning
home.
Dr.
Toby Cosgrove, president and CEO of Cleveland Clinic, congratulated the
employees and the city of Beachwood on opening the rehabilitation
hospital and said it filled a “critical need” in the hospital’s system.
