Patients receive a minimum of three hours of intensive physical, occupational and/or speech therapy five days each week, as well as frequent physician visits and 24-hour nursing care. An interdisciplinary team of highly specialized nurses, therapists and physicians create customized treatment plans to meet each patient's unique recovery goals. 

Designed with patients' needs in mind, the hospital will offer amenities such as 50 private patient rooms; a spacious, light-filled therapy gym featuring advanced rehabilitation technologies for every mobility level; an activities of daily living suite with real-world simulated spaces; an in-house dialysis suite; a landscaped therapy courtyard with recreational areas; a dining room; an in-house pharmacy and dayroom areas. 

Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of St. Petersburg is Encompass Health's 25th location in the state of Florida (inclusive of a satellite location in The Villages) and its fourth location to open in the state this year. The company plans to open an additional hospital in Lake Worth, Florida, by year's end.
