Sheltering Arms History and General Info
For over 100 years, Sheltering Arms has served the needs of the ill and injured, and since 1981 we have specialized in state-of-the-art physical rehabilitation.
INPATIENT
Sheltering Arms offers two inpatient locations.  Sheltering Arms Hospital on the Memorial Regional Medical Center campus in Mechanicsville, and Sheltering Arms Hospital South on the St. Francis Medical Center campus in Midlothian offer a smooth transition from the acute care hospital setting.  From the moment patients arrive at Sheltering Arms, they are on their way to recovery and increased independence.  The goals of each patient are achieved through the coordinated efforts of the patient, his or her family, and the rehabilitation team.

Bruce
"All I wanted was to walk into that gym on my own two feet. To sit in the stands and watch my boy play ball. Thanks to Sheltering Arms, I did."
Charles
"At first I wondered why they were bothering to do this. Then I started thinking that if they gave 100 percent, I would too. I knew they cared. They motivated me. They were my dream team."
Chuck…about his wife, Mary
"Mary has done more things since she had her stroke than she did before. They took her parasailing. She's been on a cruise...."
Patty…about her son, Brent
"If I would have known how good it was, I would have been here two months ago. I don't have to worry now. I know he's going to be taken care of."
