Rehabs in Fla.

[teresa]

Two hospitals in Florida that I have researched some and have contacted offer an out-patient program I am seriously interested in for my son. They are the Shands in Gainesville and HealthSouth in Tallahassee. I am interested in any opinions about them and the area they are in, what is it like? It will be a worriesome time for mom since he will be staying there with his dad, but I want what is best for him and this was in the plans before the injury took place...

I am going to copy this over to the Doctors and Clinics forum.

I would personally lean toward the program that is CARF accredited for Spinal Cord Rehab (Shands). The other program is not listed currently as CARF accredited at all.
