People with traumatic injuries or conditions often need specialized, continued medical care after they’ve been discharged from an acute-care hospital. If this is your situation, your physician may recommend intensive rehabilitation in a hospital setting. Research shows the sooner you begin vigorous rehabilitation, the better and faster your recovery.
A team of rehabilitation clinicians who specialize in your diagnosis will work with you and your family to develop a care plan that meets your goals. This specialization leads to excellent patient outcomes and satisfaction.
Here’s what to expect:
• You’ll have daily physician visits and work with a team of specialists for at least three hours a day, five days a week. The duration, frequency and intensity depend on your individual circumstances.
• Your personalized plan may include physical, occupational, speech-language and recreational therapies to help you achieve your highest level of independence.
• Loved ones are part of your team, so they’ll be encouraged to participate in your therapy.

Subacute rehabilitation is short-term inpatient rehabilitation. At Siskin Subacute West, it’s customized, comprehensive and coordinated to help you recover quickly from an illness, injury or surgery. Our program’s multidisciplinary team coordinates a less intense level of rehabilitation, offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation to adults of all ages with many conditions.
Most subacute rehabilitation programs in Tennessee are in nursing homes or retirement communities. You’ll find our program in the copper building connected to our main inpatient hospital.
You’ll receive at least one hour of daily therapy up to seven days a week with access to the same specialized services.

Siskin Outpatient Therapy provides specialized rehabilitation for people with a variety of conditions, from traumatic injuries and chronic pain to visual impairment and sports-related mishaps.
If you’ve graduated from an inpatient program and are ready to transition to outpatient care, we’ll help you continue your rehabilitation journey. We also offer short courses of care for people who need focused therapy.
Each program includes levels of care that ensure improved outcomes at every stage of recovery. We’ll help determine which level of care is most appropriate for your needs.
We have six outpatient clinics in the greater Chattanooga area: Cleveland, Downtown Chattanooga, East Brainerd, Hixson, North River YMCA, and Ringgold, GA.
