At North Oaks, we address the whole patient in their recovery from an amputation,
developing personalized, multidisciplinary care plans that cover all phases
from wound healing to restoration of their functional strength. Our focus
starts with healing the wound, then moves to restoring mobility, stability,
functional strength and addressing the psychological impact of limb loss.
Healing
The inpatient setting is critical for recovering from the amputation site
wound. Our 24-hour medical team is committed to providing comprehensive
care during this very challenging period in a patient’s life, including
proper medication, wound care and nutrition to prepare patients for the
next phase.
Rebuilding
Adjusting to a prosthetic requires intensive therapy and dedicated focus.
Patients have access to our extensive rehabilitation floor and a team
of board-certified physical and occupational therapists. We guide each
patient through the prosthetic-fitting process to full mobility, step
by step, as they rebuild strength, stability and endurance.
Restoring
We recognize that each patient uniquely experiences an array of emotions
following an amputation. Our care includes identifying and addressing
the grief associated with limb loss. While the body heals, we also provide
support for emotional recovery and mental well-being.
