Clinic opens 60-bed rehab hospital in Beachwood - Ohio

Damn it all, survivors don't want to be taken care of. They want results; 100% recovery. Don't be so fucking lazy. Scream at the administrators here, they are failing at their jobs.
The famed Cleveland Clinic should be better than this display of incompetency.
Call Dr. Toby Cosgrove, president and CEO of Cleveland Clinic and demand answers.

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.

“This hospital has been distinguished by quality, safety and the most advanced techniques,” Cosgrove said. “This will be a functional example of our mantra of putting patients first. The planning and construction of this facility was a model of collaboration. It gives me confidence in our vision for the future. We are creating an integrated, regional, health care delivery system that serves all of Northeast Ohio. We want to care for patients across the full spectrum of their care.”
