The Power to Overcome
Sheltering Arms Institute’s inpatient limb loss recovery program equips patients with the tools, strength, and mindset they need to achieve optimal outcomes and a high quality of life.
Spacious, all-private rooms feature Stryker beds, en-suite bathrooms, grab bars, lifts, lay-flat furniture for guests, and large picture windows with views of nature to give patients with limb loss the confidence and foundation they need to recover.
Sheltering Arms Institute’s patients with limb loss begin their inpatient rehabilitation shortly after surgery, receiving steadfast medical oversight, wound care, peer visitor services, prosthetist consultation, and advanced technology such as bodyweight support devices and virtual reality treadmills.
An expert team of physicians and nurses; physical, occupational, and recreation therapists; rehabilitation psychologists; prosthetists; and registered dietitians are ready to guide your limb loss recovery and get you back to a life you love.
From residual limb care and pain management, to psychosocial and emotional well-being, the limb loss team at Sheltering Arms Institute works with patients to set and achieve concrete recovery objectives.
Most patients with limb loss receive their prosthetic device 6-8 weeks after their amputation. To prepare, we recommend patients receive intensive rehab on an inpatient basis prior to the prosthetic limb’s arrival. This sets patients up for a successful transition to use a prosthetic device.
Patients with limb loss at Sheltering Arms Institute gain access to a network of support, comprised of adaptive recreation and well-being partners, including the Amputee Coalition, Sportable, and the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services so that their recovery can maintain momentum upon return to the community.
On the multispecialty unit, we are passionately committed to providing the best possible rehab for our patients. We serve our patients through a transdisciplinary approach that is centered around each individual’s goals. We love nothing more than seeing a patient safely go home at discharge and return to doing what they love.
