The admission criteria is designed to allow for evaluation opportunities. Suggested guidelines:
- History of a new cerebral vascular accident (stroke).
- Patient is medically stable.
- Requires rehabilitation nursing and therapy services.
- Patient is able to build tolerance to an average of three hours of therapy per day or 15/week.

Referrals may be made by physicians, social workers, or family members. After a referral is made, an assessment representative will provide an on-site evaluation of the patient. This initial assessment will be reviewed by a RRI physician to determine the patient’s rehabilitation potential. A Riverside Rehabilitation Institute physician may elect to conduct a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Consult and either authorize admission or make a recommendation for alternative services.
