If functional gains are not being made at a steady rate over a reasonable period, Cumberland’s staff consults with the referring professional to discuss if a less intensive level of care would be more beneficial for the patient. The interdisciplinary team determines appropriate services and discharge options in accordance with licensing requirements and approved standards of accrediting entities.
