About

In July 2014, the Roosevelt Warm Spring hospitals transitioned from ownership by State of Georgia to Augusta University Health. This brought together the Roosevelt legacy at Warm Springs with the state’s academic health system. “Augusta University Health has the unique knowledge and experience needed to preserve one of our state’s oldest and most revered assets,” said Gov. Nathan Deal. “This move will assure that Georgians continue to receive compassionate and high-quality health care services.”

Today, inpatient care is maximized through a two-hospital approach—The Roosevelt Long Term Acute Care Hospital provides services for the more medically complex patients while the Roosevelt Rehabilitation Hospital continues the hands-on-therapy and interdisciplinary teamwork second to none.

• Long Term Acute Care

  At Roosevelt Long Term Acute Care Hospital (RWSHL), patients are admitted from an acute care hospital, often from intensive care or step down units, and have an average length of stay with us of 25 days. Our patients are medically complex requiring multi-specialty medical services provided by board certified physicians making daily rounds and registered nurses providing 24 hour complete care. Completing the interdisciplinary team of professionals as needed by the patient may include respiratory therapist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech language pathologist, registered dietician, clinical pharmacist and case managers. We care for critically ill patients who have multiple co-morbidities, multi organ system failure and require specialized care.

• Inpatient Rehabilitation Hospital

  Roosevelt Warm Spring Rehabilitation Hospital (RWSHR) welcomes patients from all over the state of Georgia and surrounding states. Our patients are referred from acute care hospitals. Patients in a rehab facility participate in a very structured program including, building strength, endurance and self care while having medical issues managed. Our goal is to prepare patients to return home and resume their lives. We focus on early intervention for conditions affecting mobility, activities of daily living, swallowing and cognitive abilities. The sooner patients begin their rehabilitation, the better the outcomes tend to be. Our inpatient rehabilitation hospital offers patients the opportunity to get necessary complex medical care while getting back on track with their lives. We also offer psychological support, as physical trauma can be emotionally draining.
