Through our acute rehabilitation unit (ARU), patients receive physician oversight, nursing care, and therapies intended to prevent health complications and help patients regain as much function, mobility, and independence as possible. Therapeutic recreation is also offered, through activities patients enjoy at home such as arts and crafts, gardening and gentle fitness classes.
Additionally, our ARU provides treatment for:
Amputation recovery
Arthritis (active rheumatoid, psoriatic, seronegative arthropathy)
Cerebral palsy
Neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Guillan-Barre and polyneuropathy,
Orthopedic conditions such as fracture
Spina Bifida

Our outpatient services provide treatment for many of the same inpatient conditions, plus others listed below. We know recovery doesn’t end at discharge. Robust outpatient services extend the same level of excellence beyond the hospital walls, supporting continued healing and sustained independence. Beyond outpatient rehabilitation for conditions such as stroke and brain injuries, we provide rehabilitation services for:
Balance and vestibular conditions
Cognitive communication disorders
Hand injuries and conditions
Joint replacement or surgery recovery
Lymphedema
Pelvic pain, dysfunction, and incontinence
Speech, language, voice, and swallowing disorders

When your appointment is scheduled, our team will provide directions and confirm the location of your visit. We will ensure you are assigned to the facility best suited to your specific care and rehabilitation needs.
Yes. Our 18-bed acute rehabilitation unit (ARU) admits patients needing specialized care for their recovery journey. It offers private and semi-private rooms in a patient-centered environment. The smaller unit design allows for personalized care and easy access to the entire care team — including nurses, physicians, therapists, and hospital leadership. We also offer a beautiful outdoor healing space featuring therapy gardens and walking paths to support recovery and well-being.
An acute rehabilitation unit (ARU) is designed for patients who are medically stable and able to participate in an intensive recovery program. Patients who are able receive at least three hours of therapy a day, five days a week, in a personalized combination of physical, occupational, and speech therapy, under a physician-led rehabilitation team.
While a skilled nursing facility (SNF) also provides rehabilitation services and plays an important role in recovery, therapy is typically less intensive and delivered at a slower pace based on the patient's tolerance. Acute rehabilitation offers a higher level of coordinated, multidisciplinary care focused on achieving the most improvement in the shortest amount of time.
At Sharp Grossmont Hospital, exceptional outcomes begin with exceptional care. We are deeply committed to both clinical excellence and the patient and family experience, consistently earning patient satisfaction scores in the 96th-99th percentile nationally.
Our dedication to quality is further reflected in our Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accreditation — a prestigious recognition awarded to programs that meet rigorous standards for patient care, staff expertise, safety, ethics and operational excellence.
