Programs for patients recovering from neurological injuries or joint replacements

Next Step at Baptist Rehab-Germantown was designed to give Memphis-area patients an important new rehab option — an inpatient level of intensity in an outpatient setting. The goal was for those who had suffered a stroke or some other traumatic injury to reach a desired level of independence as soon as possible.

Now we have added a similar program for patients who have had hip and knee replacements. Next Step: Total Joint Program allows us to evaluate patients in their acute care facility so there is no lapse between discharge and joining the program. More importantly, it means Baptist Rehab-Germantown now has a reliable continuum of care for the orthopedic patient.

How long do these programs last?
Next Step
On average, people attend Next Step for about four weeks, 3-5 days per week for 2-3 hours per day.

Next Step: Total Joint Program
The Total Joint Program is a one-week program requiring 3-5 hours of therapy and education per day.

In general, the following criteria must be met for you to continue participating in either program:

You must need multiple hours of skilled therapy each day. Skilled means that a family member or unlicensed person is not qualified to safely conduct the activities you need.
You must show a willingness to actively participate in the program. This means keeping appointments, arriving on time, and being involved in activities while you are here.
You must have the potential to make functional gains that are measurable.

What should I expect to achieve?
Ultimate goals vary according to the individual, but in general, Next Step strives to achieve the following:

Less dependence on others for care and decision making
Ability to manage own care
Participation in life to the extent you desire
Successful return to work or school
Knowledge and skills to maintain the gains made in the program

If you have questions about the Next Step programs, please contact our Next Step manager at 901-757-3426.
