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
patients 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
The Rehabcentre shows positive results* - with patients obtaining the independence
skills necessary to return to the home environment. This helps demonstrate the success
of our rehabilitation program, as well as the satisfaction of our patients.
