What do I need to bring with me for my rehab stay at Next Step?
We recommend 7-10 days of comfortable clothing. You will be in therapy most days and clothing that supports your therapy needs are best. For some patients, this may mean larger pants or tops for ease of dressing while in rehab. We will take care of your laundry needs if you choose while you stay at Next Step. We will provide you with your personal care items. However, if you have specific needs related to these items, you can bring the type you like. We encourage patients to bring items that help them feel comfortable and assist them in being away from home. Don’t worry if you forget something, you can easily pick it up at the Village Market located in the Village Square.
