mom2hunangirls Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 My brother lives in Alexandria and had a hip replacement due to cancer (so not exactly standard hip replacement). Tomorrow he's due to get his brace off and needs to start rehab but is having a real trouble finding a good one. He's young. 42. And needs to be rehabbed as such. Does anyone have a place to recommend????? We never thought it would be this hard to find one. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Is he willing to go into DC? We live out in Fairfax. Last year my aunt had to have her leg amputated so she had to live with us for a year while recuperating. She went to the National Rehabilitation Hospital on Irving St. N.W. (near Catholic U. right up North Capitol near Michigan). She got excellent care. It wasn't really a bad drive if you do it after morning rush hour and she really got incredibly good care.

mom2hunangirls Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks! We'll check that one out! Would love if he had a few to check out. It's been so frustrating that the few places we've tried haven't been able to accomodate a young, 6' tall man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 National Rehabilitation Hospital does all kinds of rehab, very state of the art facility. I think they've seen it all, so my impression is they'll be able to accommodate your brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mermo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I would recommend NRH as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
