Inpatient Rehabilitation
Piedmont’s Inpatient Acute Rehab (IPAR) program offers hospital-based services for patients who are experiencing a functional decline from a wider range of diagnoses. Admission to IPAR typically occurs after a person is discharged from an acute care hospital, a transition which is coordinated with the patient and family by the hospital’s case manager. Length of stay typically ranges from one to three weeks and is dependent on the patient’s progress towards their goals and having a safe discharge plan.
The rehab team includes nurses, nursing assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech/language pathologists, and case managers. IPAR offers an on-site physician team, including both a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) doctor and an Internal Medicine doctor that work together to coordinate your clinical needs. The doctors lead the rehab team to maximize the patient’s functional improvement, including spearheading communication and training with family/caregivers. Our facility serves patients with a variety of conditions. However, the most common diagnoses of patients being admitted to IPAR are neurological disease or injury (e.g. stroke) and orthopedic conditions.
- Our programs are consistently ranked in the top-tier for rehabilitation quality and outcomes, including Piedmont Macon being ranked #4 in Georgia by Newsweek in America's Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2022.

- Our team creates an individualized plan of care targeted to meet the needs of each patient, and strives to create a positive and rewarding experience for patients as they work towards achieving their rehab goals.
