The Acute Rehabilitation Unit (ARU) at Kindred Hospital Houston Medical Center is a specialized inpatient rehab program located on the hospital's fourth floor. It's designed for patients recovering from serious conditions like stroke, brain or spinal cord injury, orthopedic trauma, neurological disorders, amputation, or other complex illnesses.

• Intensive Therapy: Patients receive at least 15 hours of therapy per week, typically spread across five days, under the direction of a physiatrist-a doctor who specializes in rehabilitation medicine.
• Newly Renovated Facilities: The ARU features 11 private rooms, a modern rehab gym with advanced equipment, and dedicated spaces for dining and activities. Each room includes amenities like Wi-Fi, cable TV, private bathrooms, and guest recliners.
