The plan

A goal date on day one.

When you arrive, your therapy team evaluates you within twenty-four hours and gives you a goal date: the day we expect you to go home. It's written on the whiteboard in your suite. Everybody works toward it, including you.

Most guests make it. Some beat it. If something changes, we tell you straight and set a new one. No guessing, no open-ended stays, no wondering when this will be over.

They wrote 'March 14' on my whiteboard the day I came in. I walked out March 12.

Six days a week of therapy. It was hard. It worked.
Shirley T.Rehab guest, Cimarron
Nobody beat around the bush. When Dad had a bad week, they told us, and moved the date. Then he made the new one.
Leah K.Daughter of a rehab guest
Alma had me practicing getting into my pickup until I could do it in my sleep.

My own room, my own bathroom, real sleep. I didn't expect that.
