Psychology - An orthopaedic condition and the inability to perform usual daily activities is a major lifestyle change. Patients may experience a variety of psychological reactions. Patients may be referred for psychological services to assist with changes, coping and adjustment skills.

Support Groups - Patients, families and caregivers can participate in on-site support group sessions. One-on-one meetings with social workers, psychologists and other support personnel may also help cope with the emotional changes of a disability.

Family & Caregiver Training - is provided for family members and caregivers to assist the patient with daily activities in the home or other environment.  

Family Conferences - Patients and their families may meet with members of the treatment team in a formal conference to discuss progress, discharge planning and any concerns.

Home Assessment - Prior to discharge, a staff member may evaluate the patient’s living environment to assess the ability to function in that setting.  

Continuum of Care
Upon discharge, follow-up appointments are scheduled with the primary care physician or specialist, as well as with the rehabilitation physician. This helps to ensure that the patient is receiving the recommended home health or outpatient services and provides the continuity necessary for successful rehabilitation. The Rehabcentre also offers on-site outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Program Outcomes
