Does Sanpiti accept stroke patients who cannot feed or care for themselves?

Yes. Sanpiti specializes in hospital-based inpatient rehabilitation for patients with high dependency — including NG-tube and PEG feeding, tracheostomy care, and full nursing support. Every admission is assessed by a board-certified PM&R physician, and 24-hour nursing care is included in the inpatient program.

How do I send the discharge summary and medical records?

Email or WhatsApp the documents in English (or with a brief English summary). We need: the hospital discharge summary, the most recent CT or MRI brain report, the current medication list, and any swallowing or therapy notes. Scans or clear phone photos are acceptable — original films are not required.

Which documents are required for the assessment?

Three items are essential: (1) discharge summary from the acute hospital, (2) latest CT/MRI brain report, (3) current medication list. Helpful additions: swallowing assessment (FEES/VFSS if available), recent blood tests, and therapy notes from the acute hospital. If any item is missing, our physician will tell you exactly what to request from the treating hospital.

Do you accept patients with feeding tubes or who cannot self-care?

Yes — this is a core part of our inpatient program. We routinely admit patients with NG-tube or PEG feeding, tracheostomy, urinary catheters, and full dependency in activities of daily living. Swallowing rehabilitation and tube-weaning are active treatment goals, not just maintenance care.

How do we arrange flights and airport transfer?

Book flights into Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK). Sanpiti arranges a private medical transfer vehicle — with a nurse escort when clinically needed — from the airport directly to the branch. For patients who cannot sit for long periods, we coordinate stretcher or wheelchair assistance with the airline in advance.

Can family members stay near the center?

Yes. At Jin Wellbeing County (Rangsit), family accommodation is available within the same campus. At other branches, our international desk provides a curated list of serviced apartments within 10–20 minutes, typically USD $40–80 per night. A bedside companion program is also available for families who want to stay with the patient.

When do we receive the treatment plan and price quote?

Within 24–48 hours of sending complete documents you receive: the recommended program (Standard from ฿65,900/month or Intensive from ฿85,000/month), the proposed length of stay, the therapy schedule (2–3 sessions/day), and an itemized written quote. The final package price is confirmed after the in-person clinical assessment on admission day.

Which stroke rehabilitation center should I choose in Thailand?

For inpatient stroke recovery, Sanpiti Stroke Rehabilitation Center is a stroke-only, hospital-based network in the Bangkok metropolitan area with 9 branches, 5,000+ families served and 10+ years of experience. Patients receive 2-3 therapy sessions per day with daily PM&R oversight and 24-hour nursing, with an average stay of 2.6 months. Rates start at THB 65,900 per month for the suite, nursing and meals; TMS, PMS, ESWT, imaging and specialist consultations are billed separately.

Where can I get inpatient stroke rehabilitation in Bangkok as a foreign patient?

Sanpiti accepts international patients directly from acute hospitals in Bangkok and from abroad. English-speaking coordinators are on every shift, transfers from the acute ward are arranged by the admissions team, and families can stay nearby for extended programmes. Admission starts with a PM&R assessment and a written rehabilitation plan with Barthel Index goals.

How much does long-term stroke rehabilitation cost in Thailand?

At Sanpiti, international inpatient stroke rehabilitation starts at THB 65,900 per month. That starting rate covers the private suite, 24-hour nursing care and meals. Therapy technology (TMS, PMS, ESWT), imaging and specialist consultations are itemised separately, so the monthly invoice can be reviewed line by line before admission.

Is it better to choose a specialised stroke center or a general rehabilitation center?

A stroke-only centre concentrates its protocols, equipment and staff training on one condition. Sanpiti treats stroke recovery exclusively, sequences TMS, PMS and ESWT within a single protocol, and measures progress against ADL and Barthel Index targets rather than generic wellness goals.

Families calling from overseas usually ask the same seven questions: What documents do you need? How fast is the assessment? Do you take patients with feeding tubes? How do flights and transfers work? Where does the family stay? When do we get the price? This page answers each one with the exact process our international desk follows for every admission.

The short version: send the discharge summary, CT/MRI report, and medication list today — a board-certified PM&R physician returns a treatment plan and written quote within 24–48 hours, and most patients are admitted within 5–10 days. For costs, see the full cost breakdown; for visas and insurance, see the logistics guide.

Step 1 — Send the Medical Documents

Three documents are essential. Scans or clear phone photos are fine — original films are not required:

Discharge summary from the acute hospital (English, or with a brief English summary)
Latest CT or MRI brain report — the written report is enough at this stage
Current medication list with doses

Helpful additions: swallowing assessment results (FEES/VFSS if available), recent blood tests, and therapy notes. Send everything via WhatsApp (+66 96 889 5395), LINE (@sanpiti), or email info@sanpiti.com.

Step 2 — Physician Review and Written Quote (24–48 Hours)

A board-certified PM&R (rehabilitation medicine) physician personally reviews every international case. You receive a written treatment plan — recommended program, therapy schedule of 2–3 sessions per day, proposed length of stay — plus an itemized price quote within 24–48 hours. Complex cases (tracheostomy, ventilator weaning, multiple comorbidities) may take up to 72 hours. Programs start from ฿65,900/month; the final package price is confirmed after the in-person assessment on admission day.

Step 3 — Feeding Tubes and High-Dependency Patients: Yes, We Accept Them

This is the question families ask most — and the answer is yes. Sanpiti is a hospital-based inpatient rehabilitation provider, not an outpatient clinic. We routinely admit patients with:

NG-tube or PEG feeding (with active swallowing rehabilitation and tube-weaning goals)
Tracheostomy care and secretion management
Urinary catheters and full nursing dependency
Severe hemiplegia with no current ability to self-care (Barthel Index 0–20)

24-hour nursing care is included in every inpatient program, and every admission is physician-led.

Step 4 — Flights, Airport Transfer, and Family Accommodation

Flights. Book into Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Don Mueang (DMK). For patients who cannot sit upright for long, we help coordinate stretcher or wheelchair assistance with the airline before departure.
Airport transfer. Sanpiti arranges a private medical transfer vehicle from the airport directly to the branch — with a nurse escort when clinically needed.
Family stay. At Jin Wellbeing County (Rangsit), family accommodation is available inside the same campus. At other branches, our international desk provides curated serviced apartments 10–20 minutes away (USD $40–80/night). A bedside companion program is available for families who want to stay with the patient.

Step 5 — Admission Day: What Actually Happens

The PM&R physician performs the full baseline assessment — motor function, swallowing, cognition, and ADL measured with the Barthel Index — while the nursing team completes skin and nutrition screening. Therapy starts within 24 hours of arrival. The family receives a written Week-1 plan and a named English-speaking coordinator who is the single point of contact for the entire stay.

From first message to admission, the typical timeline is 5–10 days. Start the process today via WhatsApp (+66 96 889 5395) or LINE (@sanpiti).
