About Us
Sterlington Rehab is a 10-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility that provides inpatient PT, OT, ST, RT and rehabilitation nursing under the supervision of a rehabilitation MD.
IRF level of care is a unique, collaborative effort that pulls together the different disciplines to ensure that a patient’s goal is met utilizing different techniques that build on the patient’s strengths.
Our goal is to return each patient to their prior level of functioning with some new skill sets, that help maintain functional status and improve on safe activity performance. Our IRF is a more acute level of care than SNF services and is typically paid by Medicare Part A, Private Insurance and by most Medicaid providers.

A fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) test is a procedure used to assess how well you swallow. During the procedure, a speech-language pathologist (SLP) passes a thin, flexible instrument through your nose allowing the SLP to views parts of your throat as you swallow. FEES allows the clinician to identify the physiology of swallowing, to determine the safest and least restrictive level of oral intake, to include appropriate compensatory techniques, and to establish a dysphagia rehabilitation program.
