Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital Rehabilitation

Our speech-language pathologists in Denton help patients regain skills related to communication, cognition, and swallowing. Whether you’re experiencing difficulty speaking clearly, understanding language, memory challenges, or swallowing safely, our team provides individualized therapy focused on improving everyday function. Therapy sessions may include exercises to strengthen muscles used for speech and swallowing, cognitive strategies to support memory and attention, and practical tools to help you communicate more confidently at home and in the community.

Physical therapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, balance, and endurance, so you can return to daily activities as safely and independently as possible. Our physical therapists in Denton work one-on-one with patients to address mobility challenges caused by injury, surgery, stroke, or chronic conditions. Physical therapy treatment may include gait training, muscle and joint function strengthening exercises, balance work, and pain management techniques—all tailored to help you move more comfortably and confidently.

Occupational therapy helps patients relearn or adapt the skills needed for everyday living. Our occupational therapists focus on activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, bathing, eating, grooming, and managing household tasks. Occupational therapy may also address upper body strength, coordination, vision, and cognitive skills. The goal is to help you regain independence and feel prepared to manage daily routines safely when you return home.

Our wound care services are designed to support healing while keeping patients comfortable and safe throughout their rehabilitation stay. Our specialized team treats a wide range of wounds, from post-surgical incisions to more complex or slow-healing wounds, using evidence-based techniques and advanced therapies. Wound care is closely coordinated with therapy and nursing teams to promote mobility, reduce the risk of complications, and support overall recovery as patients prepare to return home.

Telemetry allows our clinical team to closely monitor heart activity and vital signs when additional oversight is needed during rehabilitation. Using advanced monitoring technology, our staff can track changes in heart rhythm, providing an added layer of safety and reassurance. Telemetry supports patients with cardiac conditions or those who require closer observation, allowing them to participate in rehabilitation therapy with confidence while remaining under continuous clinical supervision.

The registered dietitians here in our inpatient rehabilitation center evaluate each patient’s nutritional needs and create individualized meal plans based on medical conditions, swallowing or chewing abilities, and personal food preferences. Education is a key part of our approach—we help patients understand how nutrition supports healing, strength, and long-term wellness. Whether you require a specialized diet or guidance for healthier eating after discharge, our team of registered dietitians is here to support you.

Our care management team serves as the central point of coordination throughout your rehabilitation journey. Care managers assess your needs, help develop and monitor your personalized care plan, and communicate closely with physicians, therapists, nurses, and your support system. They also assist with discharge planning, connecting you to community resources and post-discharge services to help you make a smooth, safe transition back to life beyond inpatient rehabilitation.
