Your Rehab Team

The Medical Director is a physician specially trained in rehabilitation who will coordinate your overall treatment program and oversee the efforts of the rehab team. Dr. Justin Liu is the medical director of the El Camino Hospital Los Gatos Rehabilitation Center.

Rehabilitation Nurses will give you around-the-clock personal care and are a good resource for any questions you or your family may have about your recovery.
Physical Therapists will teach you exercises that may help improve your balance, strength and mobility. If necessary, they also will instruct on safe and correct use of mobility devices such as walkers and canes, braces and artificial limbs. Occupational Therapists focus on improving your everyday living skills, including bathing, dressing and eating. They also may train you on equipment that will help you better perform these activities.

Speech Therapists will assess and treat your ability to communicate, problem solve and reason. They also may address problems with swallowing.

Your Case Manager will explain the different details of your stay, explore with you the many changes in your life and coordinate your discharge. Other individuals on your rehabilitation team may include a dietitian, psychologist, orthotic/prosthetic consultant and others. Your therapy sessions and activities will be posted on a daily schedule board. Your personal physician will continue to follow your progress and remain in charge of your medical care.
