About our acute rehabilitation unit
Select Medical Rehabilitation – Orlando Central is a 32-bed medical rehabilitation unit, also known as an acute rehabilitation unit, that helps individuals regain function and rebuild their lives following injury or illness. Select Medical Rehabilitation – Orlando Central is housed within Select Specialty Hospital – Orlando Central, a 31-bed free-standing critical illness recovery hospital.
One of the ways we differentiate is through our early mobility and therapy programs. Many of our patients come to us severely weakened following extended periods of immobility in an intensive care unit. We strive to get patients up and moving quickly after admission, as research shows that physical rehabilitation in a critical care setting improves mobility and overall physical function. Our hospitals focus on early movement to increase physical function upon discharge and to get patients back to their daily lives as quickly as possible.
Our physician-led, multi-disciplinary teams include nursing, respiratory, speech, physical and occupational therapists who collaborate from day one on a personalized care plan to help each patient achieve their goals.
Four Focus Areas of Recovery
We specialize in treating patients recovering from a range of medical issues including stroke, brain or spinal cord injuries, surgery or chronic medical conditions. Our multidisciplinary care teams assess patients and develop personalized treatment plans to meet patient needs, with a goal of improving their independence and returning to daily life. This brief video outlines the four core aspects of our hospitals' approach to inpatient rehabilitation.

Where you seek treatment after illness or injury greatly influences your recovery. At Select Medical Rehabilitation, our goal is to help patients with medically complex conditions continue their recovery, enabling them to regain their quality of life. Physician-led, multidisciplinary care teams support that recovery by developing a customized treatment plan that helps patients eat, walk, talk and think again.
Inspired Reading for Recovery, Rehabilitation and Beyond
We are here for you, too
Something devastating has just happened and you may be wondering if anything will ever be the same. You likely have many questions. We know that for many, this is the first time you have experienced a critical illness recovery hospital.
It can be confusing, overwhelming and maybe even a little scary. We have developed this material just for you - the caregiver, family member and support person. Our hope is that it will help ease some of the stress you may be feeling and provide information to help answer some of your questions.
We know that a large part of our patients’ outcomes is determined by caregivers' health and well-being. You are an important member of the care team and we encourage your active involvement. The more you understand about your loved one’s condition, the services we provide and the types of resources available to you, the more empowered and less stressed you will feel.
While the time spent in the hospital can be stressful, preparing for and returning home can be equally as or even more challenging. To assist you with the transition and adjustment as your loved one leaves our care, we encourage you to talk to your care team about community resources and continued support.
We also have an online support resource that is exclusive to our patients. It is called CHET, which stands for Community, Healing, Education and Training. CHET provides information about diagnoses and conditions, what to expect throughout a recovery journey, guidelines and tips for returning home and self-care resources. Additionally, CHET features the ability to create a private online support community of family and friends to share progress updates and rally around a patient’s recovery.
