More about Van Matre Encompass Health Rehabilitation Institute

Patients here are working back from stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, hip fracture, and other complex neurological or orthopedic conditions. They get three hours of therapy five days a week, and you provide the 24/7 rehab nursing that holds the day together between sessions. The care team around you includes physical, occupational, and speech therapists, physicians, dietitians, and case managers. This is the only comprehensive hospital-based inpatient rehabilitation service for adults and adolescents in the region. The facility carries Joint Commission accreditation with disease-specific certification in stroke, spinal cord injury, and brain injury rehabilitation. If dialysis is your lane, a hemodialysis RN role here means direct inpatient care and supervising treatments on site. Benefits start on day one for full- and part-time staff—medical, dental, and vision, plus PTO, a 401(k) match, employee stock purchase, and FSA/HSA options. Tuition reimbursement and continuous education opportunities are also listed. Public feedback is thin and mixed: Yelp shows 2.9 stars from seven reviews, so you will want to weigh that against a unit visit of your own.
