Referral and admission process

Are you a candidate for inpatient physical rehabilitation? Mayo Clinic follows federal guidelines for admitting people eligible for inpatient physical rehabilitation unit care. Those who are admitted to the unit need to meet certain criteria.

To be eligible, you must have completed your medical and surgical testing and care but still require hospitalized care.

  • This means that you need physician monitoring, 24-hour nursing support and intensive daily therapy.
  • You must be able to take part in three hours of therapy a day. This includes physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy.
  • You may be ineligible for inpatient physical rehabilitation if you have any ongoing medical or psychiatric conditions that prevent you from fully participating in daily therapy.
