Encompass Health Corp. announced plans to build a freestanding, 50–bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital in Post Falls, Idaho. 

The hospital will serve patients recovering from debilitating illnesses and injuries, including stroke and other neurological conditions, brain and spinal cord injuries, amputations and complex orthopedic issues. In addition to 24–hour nursing care, the hospital will provide physical, occupational and speech therapies to help patients restore function and improve their quality of life. Care will be delivered by specialized nurses, therapists and physicians. 

The hospital will include private patient rooms, a large therapy gym equipped with advanced rehabilitation technology, an activities of daily living suite, an in–house dialysis suite, a dining room, a pharmacy and an outdoor therapy courtyard. 

The hospital is expected to open in 2028 and will be part of Encompass Health's national network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. It will be the company's second location in Idaho, joining its existing hospital in Boise.
