What Is an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) and How Does It Help Patients Recover?

An inpatient rehabilitation facility (or hospital) is specially designed for patients who have experienced an injury, illness or surgical procedure that requires rehabilitation. These patients must be medically stable enough to begin an intensive, comprehensive rehabilitation program. In many cases, patients in an IRF recover more quickly and return home sooner.
