The Acute Rehabilitation Unit (ARU) at Kindred Hospital Houston Medical Center

It’s designed for patients recovering from serious conditions like stroke, brain
or spinal cord injury, orthopedic trauma, neurological disorders, amputation, or
other complex illnesses.

Intensive Therapy: Patients receive at least 15 hours of therapy per week,
typically spread across five days, under the direction of a physiatrist—a
doctor who specializes in rehabilitation medicine.
Newly Renovated Facilities: The ARU features 11 private rooms, a modern rehab
gym with advanced equipment, and dedicated spaces for dining and activities.
Each room includes amenities like Wi-Fi, cable TV, private bathrooms, and
guest recliners.
Seamless Transition: Because it’s located within the hospital, patients can
move directly from long-term acute care to rehabilitation without
transferring to a different facility.
24/7 Nursing Support: Around-the-clock care ensures patients are supported
throughout their recovery journey.
Evidence-Based Approach: The ARU follows guidelines from the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services and is recommended by the American Heart
