"Providing Services Locally for Our Patients' Convenience"

Rehabilitation means reshaping lives and restoring lost abilities after an illness or injury. Whether recovering from a stroke, a fall or a serious illness, rehabilitation can make a difference in the quality of life for most patients. 

In 1999, Riley Hospital recognized a need in east Mississippi for a facility that allowed patients to receive intensive rehabilitation and 24-hour care, yet stay conveniently close to home and family. A rehabilitation unit was established on the fourth floor of the hospital to meet that need; today, the 20-bed, Medicare-certified center is East Mississippi's only inpatient rehabilitation facility.

In spring of 2002, the center was dedicated in honor of retired local businessman Tom C. Maynor in recognition of his strong advocacy on behalf of stroke survivors and their families.

At the Tom C. Maynor Rehabilitation Center, we are dedicated to treating the whole patient - physically, emotionally and socially - and provide a wide range of therapy services to help our patients return to their highest level of functioning and independence.

The Tom C. Maynor Rehabilitation Center at Riley Hospital is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).


Our Mission

The mission of the Tom C. Maynor Rehabilitation Center is to provide a comprehensive rehabilitation program of the highest quality in order to improve the functional independence of our patients by adhering to the overall patient program goals.


Our Patients

In our rehabilitation program, we serve patients who require intensive physical and occupational therapy as a result of stroke, hip fracture, joint replacement, amputation and arthritis.


Our Team

We have comprised a team of highly trained professionals to deal with every aspect of the patient's treatment and recovery. The team, headed by our medical director, includes rehabilitation nurses; physical, occupational and speech therapists; and social workers. They all work together to develop goals and coordinate and plan patient care.
 
Family members also are an integral part of the rehabilitation team. They are encouraged to assist in goal setting, participate in the care of the patient and attend scheduled therapy treatment sessions with the patient. The family is educated on the patient's limitations and strengths and how to help the patient continue functional improvements at home. But, the most important member of the team is the patient, and success depends on his or her commitment to the goals.


Our Program

Patients find that time in our program is different from a routine hospital stay. We believe that caring for patients means helping them learn to do as much for themselves as possible. Patients participate in a daily schedule of one-on-one therapy; group treatment; community re-entry and adaptive leisure activities; patient and family education, training and support; and other goal-directed activities. Upon discharge, patients continue their course of treatment in their community environment and return to the care of their personal physician.
